Now she knows what it feels like to be a taxpayer in this country.
NEW YORK (Reuters) – Rep. Grace Meng (D., N.Y.) was struck in the back of the head and robbed of her handbag Tuesday night, her office said on Wednesday.
Meng, elected last year and the first Asian-American member of New York’s congressional delegation, was walking toward her Washington, D.C., apartment when attacked, the statement said.
“While this was a frightening ordeal, I fortunately was not seriously injured,” Meng said in the statement. “Obviously, things could have been much worse. I thank the U.S. Capitol Police and the District of Columbia Police for responding quickly and professionally.”
