COLUMBUS (AP) — Two Republican lawmakers got into a tense confrontation at an upscale Columbus restaurant two weeks ago over the now-historic vote to expel Larry Householder from the Ohio House.
The Toledo Blade reports Rep. Bill Seitz (R-Cincinnati) confronted Rep. Jon Cross (R-Kenton) at Lindey’s restaurant a week before the June 16 vote to oust Householder.
Seitz approached Cross as they were both leaving the restaurant and began to argue about Cross’ decision to vote yes on the expulsion resolution.
Both men confirmed to The Blade that the altercation happened.
It remains unclear if the encounter between the two men was physical or strictly verbal.
