A Democratic congresswoman had a meltdown over a poster in her local diner.
Rep. Lois Frankel (D-FL) was recorded in a tirade over a poster that read, “Retire Lois Frankel.”

The reaction
“Not 10 minutes later did Lois come crashing through the door,” said City Diner owner Richard Kline in West Palm Beach, Florida. “She didn’t come to eat. Because she comes with her elderly mother when she comes to eat. It’s a whole different mindset.”
“She came in looking around with her dark sunglasses. She was looking for that picture.”
“Finally she found it,” says Kline, “and she started freaking out.”
The response
Deb Adeimy, who is running against Frankel, called out the congresswoman’s behavior.
“This goes beyond politics. I find it appalling that a sitting member of Congress would intimidate or threaten anyone for supporting me or any reason. This is inexcusable behavior,” Adeimy said.

“I want to wish the Kline family all the best and thank them for their continued support. No American should be verbally attacked by their own Congressperson, have their workday interrupted to defend themselves for their American right. It is time for Frankel to retire, she does not represent this district well. I will be a Representative that treats everyone with dignity and respect. I have heard too many stories like this from my hometown voters about Lois Frankel.”

The meltdown will likely backfire for Frankel, giving her opponent an advantage over her over-the-top attitude.
