Metcalfe wanted to send a clear message

On the other hand, Metcalfe told the media network, “I think the majority of the population is heterosexual. The homosexual crowd thinks that they can, you know, flaunt their sexuality routinely throughout the course of the day and throughout our government now and debate after debate. I wanted to send a clear message to Matt Bradford that I don’t appreciate his constant touching on my arm.”

The Democratic lawmaker denied his Republican colleague’s claim that he touched him multiple times in the past. Bradford emphasized that Metcalfe’s behavior during the hearing was inappropriate. He discussed the matter to Pennsylvania House Speaker Mike Turzai.
