Alaskan Rep. Don Young head-butted a citizen journalist’s camera while refusing to answer questions about election interference.

The staffer repeatedly told the activists to reach out to Young’s press secretary for answers about whether or not the congressman thinks it’s appropriate for a president to “ask foreign governments to interfere in our elections.”
