Pennsylvania Democratic State Rep. Kevin Boyle threatens to shut down bar during outburst: ‘Do you know who the f—k I am?’
A Democratic Pennsylvania state lawmaker allegedly threatened to use his political status to shut down a local bar as he unleashed a profanity-laced tirade at employees before he was thrown out of the establishment.
Rep. Kevin Boyle, 44, started his outburst at Gaul & Co. Malt House in Rockledge, Pa. when he shouted at a female bartender and refused several orders to leave, according to the viral footage.
“I can f–king end this bar by the way, I’d f–king end this bar if I wanted to,” Boyle screamed.
“You’re all f–king a–holes by the way,” Boyle proclaims as he stands up and grabs his jacket, while one of the people off camera encourages him to go to his car before they call the cops.
As Boyle continued his shouting match with the bartender, someone told the politician he was the one who initiated the argument.
“Why are you acting this way,” the Democrat asks before switching topics and accusing everyone inside the bar of working with the federal government.
“This is US military intelligence, and traitors,” Boyle begins to say before stopping himself.
Boyle, whose brother Brendan is a US representative for Pennsylvania, continued with his tirade when he called the workers “idiots” and accused them of being “actors.”
The power-hungry lawmaker then claimed he had the ability to prevent some of the employees from getting a promotion.
“Stop it, you not think [sic] I’m gonna prevent your promotion in the United States military?”
Boyle then pointed around the room in an attempt to confirm everyone was a member of the military, which received zero “yes” answers.
In a moment of clarity, as he was defying the bartender’s request to leave, Boyle ensured he paid his tab.
“Did I pay my bill?” he asks, before admitting “I don’t want to be a douchebag, but I don’t want to be an a–hole.”
“It’s hard,” Boyle begins to say as he is again told to leave the bar. “This is so aggressive, you can’t talk to me like this, I’ll close your f–king bar!”
“This bar is done, do you know who the f–k I am?” “This bar is done tomorrow.”
The bar, located in Montogomery County, is part of the 172nd district that Boyle has served since he took office in 2011, along with parts of Philadelphia.
The Pennsylvania House Democratic Leaders said they were aware of the “troubling” video and were “glad” Boyle was seeking help for his “personal challenges.”
“We are aware of a video circulating on social media. It is very troubling. Rep. Boyle has been open about his personal challenges,” a statement obtained by NBC10 read. “We are encouraged that our colleague and dear friend is seeking help. Our commitment to delivering mental health services does not stop at the Capitol Steps.”
“One of the main reasons we advocate so strongly for mental health access is the reality that challenges can and do happen to anyone, and seeking treatment should be encouraged, not stigmatized.”
In 2021, Boyle was arrested and charged with harassment and violating a protection from abuse order filed by his wife, according to the outlet.
Following the arrest, Boyle was removed from his position as House Finance Committee chairman and had his access to the Capitol limited.

WEST CALN TWP., Pa. (WPVI) — Investigators have revealed the cause of a plane crash that killed a Chester County school board president two years ago.
The National Transportation Safety Board blamed it on inadequate preflight inspection.
There was a loss of engine power because the fuel was contaminated with water from a recent rainfall, the NTSB said.
The plane crashed shortly after takeoff in West Caln Township on February 1, 2024.
Octorara Area School District School Board President Sam Ganow was killed when a small plane crashed Thursday in Chester County, Pennsylvania.
The pilot, Sam Ganow, was the only one onboard.

Pennsylvania man arrested for allegedly feeding pet parakeet marijuana and beer
A Pennsylvania man was arrested on animal cruelty charges for allegedly feeding marijuana and beer to his pet parakeet after bringing the injured feathered friend to a bar, according to reports.
Timothy Grace, 40, was busted on Feb. 21 after carrying his wounded pet budgie named “Blue Skies” in his pocket to Callaghan’s Bar in Greensburg, according to CBS Pittsburgh.
“The caller’s a bartender. She says there is a white male at the bar with a parakeet,” a dispatcher reported on the police radio transmissions obtained by the outlet.
“The patron was bragging to other people that were inside the bar that he feeds the parakeet marijuana and has it drink beer on a daily basis,” Detective Sergeant Justin Scalzo told the outlet.
Grace “appeared extremely intoxicated” when police showed up to the bar and found the pet bird in distress, according to court documents obtained by the outlet.
“Its leg appeared to be broken,” Scalzo said, according to WTAE. “Its foot was actually facing the wrong direction.”
Grave was initially arrested for public intoxication and now faces charges including aggravated cruelty to animals and transporting animals in a cruel manner, the outlet said.
The pet bird was brought to PEARL Parrot Rescue in the Pittsburgh area, which rushed him to an emergency care facility.
Blue Skies spent four days in the hospital and was later taken in to be fostered by Teri Grendzinski, the president of PEARL. The injured parakeet is still breathing hard, remains on antibiotics, and has to wear a splint on his right leg, CBS reported.
“They realized his leg was broken. He also had some respiratory issues going on,” Grendzinski told the outlet. “He was also very, very skinny.”
“The leg was broken badly enough there is a chance they’re going to have to amputate the leg if it doesn’t heal correctly,” she added.
If Blue Skies is eventually put up for adoption, he will require specialized care, the outlet said.
“When we got that call, it was horrifying. Why would you do that to a bird?” Grendzinski said.
