PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — Video circulating on social media shows Pennsylvania State Rep. Kevin Boyle berating staff and guests at a suburban Philadelphia bar, threatening to “shut down” the business.
After being asked to leave Gaul and Co. Malt House in Montgomery County multiple times, Boyle (D-Philadelphia), is seen cursing at those inside, calling them “idiots” and “morons,” and accusing them of being “actors,” U.S. Military intelligence, and “traitors.”
The State Rep. goes back and forth with who is believed to be the bartender, asking if they know who he is, saying he’ll close down the bar.
“This bar is done tomorrow,” he says.
What sparked this interaction is not yet known but, at one point, someone in the video said he drank too much and needed to go home.
In 2021, Boyle was arrested and charged with harassment and violation of a protection from abuse order from his wife.
It came to light that he was dealing with ongoing mental health challenges, for which he agreed to seek treatment.
