A word to any political pundits looking to get a quote about the Tea Party from Chris Rock, protect your camera!

The comedian/actor spazzed on a camera when conservative writer Jason Mattera tried to ensnare Rock with a question about his pointed remarks about the Tea Party in Esquire Magazine. The altercation happened at the Sundance Film Festival and video footage of the incident recently hit the internet.

Rock stirred up controversy in an Esquire Magazine interview last year when he told the magazine, “When I see the Tea Party and all this stuff, it actually feels like racism’s almost over. Because this is the last — this is the act up before the sleep. They’re going crazy. They’re insane.”

When Mattera asked Chris Rock about those comments, Chris tried to walk away but once he realized he had nowhere to run, he lunged at the camera.

Chris Rock’s camp says their lawyers are looking into the video and they have no other comment at this time.
