A video has surfaced that protesters say show Congressman Neal Dunn, R-Panama City, ran a red light Thursday to avoid talking to them about health care.

About 60 constituents had gathered outside of Dunn's Tallahassee office seeking a meeting. Dunn declined an opportunity to talk to the group and instead left the office through an underground garage. Michael Nair-Collins, a professor at the Florida State University College of Medicine, and others ran to the garage to catch Dunn. They told the Democrat he left with an aide in the Chevy Tahoe caught on video.

Dunn's office and the congressman failed to respond to a question of whether the car in the video Nair-Collins shot is the one Dunn used Thursday.
