The man replied, “He can’t touch me, ma’am, what do you mean he can’t touch me? He can’t, I’ll have him arrested in five seconds flat.”
Ms Dorries told viewers: “The cameraman didn’t touch him.”
“Touch me then! If someone touches me I call the police. Touch me then, they might drop you,” the man continued.
“Are you OK?” Mrs Dorries whispered to the cameraman, as the man continued to scream. “Should I move?”
“Put a finger on me, anyone, you’ll spend the afternoon in a police cell,” he shouted.
The man could then be heard ranting incoherently as the camera cut to an announcement for the upcoming Tory leadership debate next Thursday.
“It’s not a vanity project”
Before the disruption, Ms Dorries defended the £778m cost of hosting the Commonwealth Games at a time when families face mounting bills and growing hardship.
She told Sky News from Birmingham: “It’s not a vanity project… This is very important.”
“Are you saying we shouldn’t have the Commonwealth Games? I think we’re proud and honored to have picked up the baton when it was dropped elsewhere in the world and to continue to run these Commonwealth Games in the amazing way what we did. “
“Everybody here, thousands of people, we’re extremely proud, including the volunteers behind me right now, very proud of what we’re doing.”
