Dem tracker ejected from Allen West event by bikers

By Sean J. Miller - 10/19/10 09:55 AM ET

On the heels of having to deny he's associated with the Outlaws motorcycle gang, Florida Republican Allen West had a Democratic tracker ejected from a campaign event by a group of men wearing motorcycle gear.

"Man, I don't want you here ... because this is a place of honor and the organization that you represent has no honor, so please leave," West is heard saying in the video captured by a tracker for the Florida Democratic Party.

"Do you really want to do this?" the young staffer asks as several men surround him.

The group then forces the tracker back to his car.

"Somebody going to hurt him, you're going to get hurt, guy," one man says to the tracker during the incident.

The West campaign told NBC Miami he was at an event to "honor American veterans" and the young man "was asked to leave."

West is challenging Rep. Ron Klein (D-Fla.). This is the video the Florida Democrats released:
