First appeared on FOX: Longtime Democratic Rep. Marcy Kaptur was captured on video on Friday appearing to have reached her breaking point as a man asked her if she should resign following President Biden’s panned performance at the CNN debate.
“Excuse me, Congressman, but should Joe Biden resign?” a man at the Detroit airport asks Kaptur in a video obtained by Fox News Digital.
The 78-year-old congresswoman ignored a question while walking up an escalator in the airport, forcing the man to repeat the question.
After Kaptur did not respond a second time, she was asked, “Why is the White House lying about Joe Biden’s cognitive ability?”

Kaptur, who appears to be packing his belongings, looks into the camera before grabbing the man’s phone as the video ends.
“Congressman, why did you take my phone like that?” Kaptur is heard asking in the video later as he walks through the airport.

“What’s your name?” Kaptur replied, looking straight into the camera. “Where do you live?”
“Senator, why are you asking me such personal questions?” the man replied.
“Because you’re asking me questions,” Kaptur says.

As they spun slowly in a circle, Kaptur asked, “Where do you live? Where do you live? What town?”
“I don’t need to give you that information,” the man said, to which Kaptur replied, “Then I’m not going to answer you.”
As Congressman Kaptur turned to leave again, the man asked again, “Congressman, I just want to know, should Joe Biden resign?”

“No,” Kaptur replied, then walked away.
The two continued to exchange messages, with Kaptur asking the man why he was “reading questions off of that form” and “who do you belong to?”
“I don’t belong to anyone,” the man replied. “I just want to ask you some questions.”
“They own you,” she says as she walks out the airport door.
“It’s one thing to ask questions, but quite another for unknown men, who do not identify themselves, to forcibly smuggle a camera into a Member of Congress’ personal space,” Kaptur campaign spokeswoman Alexandra Wilcox said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
“The man has yet to identify himself or the organisation he works for.”
“Putting these political issues aside, Congressman Kaptur is committed to further transformative federal investments in Northwest Ohio,” Wilcox continued.
Democrats, especially those facing a hotly contested election this November, are left wondering where they should take Biden’s debate performance, especially in the 2024 election.
Many Democrats have acknowledged Biden’s debate performance did not go well, including former President Barack Obama, who said Friday that “there are such things as bad debate nights.”
Kaptur, a 21-term representative, faces a tough re-election race in Ohio’s 9th Congressional District, which the Cook Political Report rates as a Democratic race.
