A man is claiming GOP Texas Chairman @AllenWest hit him in the face during a physical altercation at Dallas Fort-Worth Airport.
chron.com/politics/artic…
In a DFW Airport police report, the man, identified as Lawrence Eric Stern, was standing at the airport's Terminal B on Nov. 3 when he saw West walking through the terminal maskless.
chron.com/politics/artic…
Stern told West to put his mask on and called him an idiot, the report said.

West then approached Stern and asked him to repeat himself, and Stern again told West to put a mask on.

That's when the altercation took a turn.
chron.com/politics/artic…
Stern told the Dallas Morning News Wednesday that if approached by authorities, he would agree to press charges against West for the altercation.
chron.com/politics/artic…
West, who is unvaccinated and was hospitalized with COVID-related pneumonia last month, wrote in a tweet thread that he'd responded to Stern by "flicking" his mask off.
chron.com/politics/artic…
However, Stern said it was much more than that.
chron.com/politics/artic…
"I called him out, basically, because he was breaking the law already," Stern told @dallasnews.

"All of the other 10,000 people I saw that day were complying."
Should the man press charges against GOP Chairman Allen West?
