BP, if he had been a Democrat, they would have mentioned it in paragraph 17, if at all.

Per Wiki:
"In 2011, The New Yorker magazine reported that Grimm had been the subject of an internal investigation into allegations he abused his authority as a FBI agent in a nightclub in 1999. According to the article,[4] written by Evan Ratliff, the incident resulted from a dispute between Grimm and his date's husband (Emphasis added - UP). A former NYPD officer working as a bouncer at the time said that Grimm remarked about the husband, 'Ill fucking make him disappear where nobody will find him.'"
"Their primary was marked by bitter negative attacks against each other, including one assertion by Allegretti that Grimm was "living a lie" for using a photo where he was wearing military badges he was not entitled to.[24] Grimm said he received military ribbons by means of an administrative error, which he only learned of in 2000 but despite knowing this he used a photo dating back to 1993 where he was wearing the U.S. Army variants of the Presidential Unit Citation and Meritorious Unit Commendation, as well as a Joint Meritorious Unit Award.[25] On September 14, Grimm defeated Allegretti 69%31%.[26]"
"Grimm's win was divisive for the Republican Party leadership,[27] which was more in favor of Allegretti, as Grimm won in large part due to the effect of the endorsement of the New York State Conservative Party and Tea Party voters (Emphasis added - UP)".
Granted, it looks like he is a distasteful piece of work, but is this more along the likes of an anti-Tea Party meme? Just free-associating here.

This whole episode is...well...Grim. But he is a politician from the minority party in New York. And New York seems to breed this type of politician. So caulk one up for the "clean up politics" segment in NY.

Possibly. But if one goes through the Congressman's speeches interview, et cetera, it appears that he pretty much used both the New York State Conservative Party and Tea Party to get into office.
