According to statements from witnesses at the bar, Lovell was trying to get Betsy Dirksen Londrigan and her husband to answer questions on camera. When Lovell was asked to leave he started throwing punches at one of Londrigan campaign members.
Congressman Rodney Davis released a statement. Quoting the Congressman:  "My sincerest apologies to Betsy, her husband Tom, and everyone at JP Kelly's. The incident involving a young field representative on my campaign should have never happened and his employment was immediately terminated. His actions go against everything I stand for and go directly against what I have been promoting, which is more civility in politics. This kind of behavior will never be tolerated on my campaign or with anyone on my staff", end of quote.
