A 2011 video resurfaced shows newly announced Republican Presidential candidate Joe Walsh flipping out on his own constituents during his single term as an Illinois Congressman. This video, minus the cursing, is reminiscent of the ‘Fredo’ Chris Cuomo video that recently went viral. Perhaps President Trump will jokingly call for Joe Walsh to be ‘Red Flagged‘ for his instability on Twitter like he did to Chris Cuomo? That’s if he decides to pay Walsh any attention at all.
On the same day that Walsh announced his candidacy, a video is making the rounds on social media that would shock and stun most people. While Walsh claims Trump is unfit for the presidency in his primary challenge to Donald J. Trump, it looks as though he might actually be the unfit one.
The Conservative tea party Twitter personality was seen on the video reported in 2011 by The Huffington Post ranting and raving, getting up in a lady’s face, and grandstanding in a very angry manner.
From huffpost.com:
The “Cup of Joe with Joe Walsh” event was held at an UNO Bar & Grill in the northern suburb, and “a number of topics were discussed,” according to Round Lake Area News. But, as ThinkProgress reported Tuesday, Walsh did not like when the conversation turned to big banks and their power within government.
Someone in the crowd appears to be talking about how he believes big bank employees getting involved in the government are a problem and Walsh cuts the man off mid-sentence yelling out:
“I AGREE WITH YOU ABOUT THAT, THAT’S NOT THE PROBLEM. That’s not the problem. The problem is you gotta be consistent, and I don’t want government meddling in the marketplace. Yeah they move from Goldman Sachs to the White House, I understand all that, but you gotta be consistent, and it’s not the private marketplace that created this mess.”
He goes on and continues ranting as can be seen in the video.
At one point he walks directly up to a woman sitting at the bar nearby and gets right up in her face and she says “you don’t have to scream at me”.
Towards the end of the video he yells, “I need more coffee” and the lady who he was yelling at’s response to him was, “I think you’ve had too much“.

This memory highlights that while President Trump may or may not have a challenge on the Democrat end for the 2020 race, it’s safe to say that Joe Walsh, the primary contender, is not looking like he’s going to cut it.
