Mitt Romney’s Alleged Attacker was Los Angeles Rapper Sky Blu

(NewsCore) - Los Angeles rapper Sky Blu was named by TMZ website on Friday as the mystery man who attacked Republican politician and former presidential hopeful Mitt Romney on an airplane.

Blu, of electro-hop group LMFAO - known for hits such as I'm in Miami ###### - allegedly physically threatened Mr Romney on an Air Canada flight leaving Vancouver on Monday morning (local time).

According to video taken by one of Blu's travelling companions and cited by TMZ, the incident was sparked when the musician, who was sitting in front of Romney’s wife Ann in the economy section of the plane, moved his seat back.

Romney allegedly shouted at Blu to put his seat back. Blu claimed Romney then reached forward and grabbed his shoulder, so he slapped the 62-year-old Republican’s hand away.

Authorities then boarded the plane and escorted Blu off the flight.

Former Massachusetts Governor Romney's spokesperson Eric Fehrnstrom claimed Tuesday that Blu became "physically violent" when asked to put his seat up but never mentioned whether or not Romney put his hands on him.

Fehrnstrom said: "Governor Romney did not retaliate."

After hearing of the incident, the pilot returned the plane to the gate and had the passenger and his bags removed.

Romney was not injured.

He and his wife had been in Vancouver for the opening of the Winter Olympics.

There is speculation that Romney, who ran unsuccessfully for the Republican presidential nomination in 2008, is preparing for another bid in 2012.

Why was Romney flying economy?

He's a conservative Republican. Waste not, want not.

He wants First Class treatment without paying for it...yep, sounds like the Republicans we've been seeing in Washington these days.

Jumping to confusions there, aren't you.

Putting your seat back down before take off is a no-no in economy class. I don't blame him for speaking up. I have done the same in the past. Personally, I'm not a great fan of people doing it while the food is being served either, but that's just me.

And anyway, if he had been a prominent Democrat, Pelosi would have had him flying Air America USAF.

You'd be the first guy to scream about a rich guy like Romney is flying around in private plane or riding in first class.

The rapper was kicked off the plane for being a jerk, not Romney. Luckily Sen. Schumer wasn't on the plane with his lousy behavior on planes.

Yes , but you have to love a guy with the first name "Mitt".

Et tu Brute?

Lets be honest here. Mitt Romney has a snowball's chance in hell of winning over the Right Wingnuts of the Republican Party, who think he's a closet Socialist.

Et tu Brute?

I think he's the most viable candidate the Republicans have. I'm an Independent. I vote for who I feel is best suited for the job, not along any party lines. I have no idea how I'll vote in 2012. If Obama is doing well, he may get my vote, if not, someone else probably will.
