Congressional candidate takes on protesters

The appearance of former presidential adviser Dick Morris in Saratoga Springs drew an angry crowd of protesters, who got a surprise visit from the Republican Congressional candidate hosting the visit.

Bob Dieterich, the Republican candidate challenging U.S. Rep. Paul Tonko, D-Amsterdam, went right up to the small crowd and began a conversation. We captured about six minutes of the conversation, which was relatively respectful.

In the video, Dieterich is the man on the right with short hair and a suit.
