--- Quote ---State House Rep. Kevin Boyle, a Democrat from Philadelphia, placed state House Democrats in an awkward spotlight on Friday after a three-minute video appeared on social media showing him at a suburban Philly bar threatening to use his position of power to close the bar down.

“I can f***ing end this bar, by the way,” Boyle shouted, saying, “This bar is done.” “Don’t you know who the f*** I am? This bar is done tomorrow!”

Boyle, 44, has represented the 172nd House District for 13 years. He won with 57% of the vote in 2022. His brother Brendan, also a Democrat, serves in the U.S. House of Representatives.

State House Democratic leadership released a statement late Friday evening saying it was aware of a video circulating on social media. “It is very troubling,” the statement noted, adding that Boyle had been open about his challenges.

His allegedly drunken outburst came three years after Boyle was arrested and charged with harassment and violation of a protection-from-abuse order that was filed by his wife.
