It wasn’t a great weekend for Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.). Politico reports that a constituent pointed a gun at Gowdy as he waited for his daughter in the parking lot of a church:

The South Carolina Republican was in the parking lot of his church in Spartanburg waiting for his daughter when Gloria Yvonne Brackett pointed a gun in his direction, a police report said.

Brackett asked Gowdy to “stop following her,” the police report says. Gowdy replied that he wasn’t following her, but was merely waiting for his daughter. After another similar interaction, Gowdy put his car in reverse, and Brackett chased the vehicle on foot. He drove directly to the police department, and was escorted back to the church by police officers to pick up his daughter.

The woman was arrested for illegally carrying the gun.

In early 2011 Gowdy, then a freshman, was tasked with running one of the two congressional subcommittees that oversee D.C. Despite early fears that the Tea Party-backed legislator would harshly lord over the city’s internal affairs, he’s largely stayed away from the minutiae of local governance.
