The ® is obvious, based on the behavior.
Ofc it’s Florida… oh man… 😂
yup, I’m willing to bet all of the money that if he were told “no” by a man, he would’ve slinked away. Instead, he was told “no” by a woman, and this is how he reacts. By putting his hands on her, and then bull rushing her with plenty of “no you” energy. He’s a misogynistic POS, so, republican.
The worker should’ve Stood Her Ground, she rightfully feared for her life, she didn’t know if this guy had a gun, if he was going in there to hurt people
Yeah, find out the hard way that it doesn’t count as self-defense if you do it to someone in the ruling class.
Take one of them with you :)

What was more menacing was the way he walked towards her near the end.

It’s always a non-story when authorities cross boundaries with one of their subjects. They wouldn’t be in positions of power if we didn’t already believe that their violence was justified as a culture.
Meanwhile, I remember a few months ago… I believe it was Abbot, a constituent came and ‘clapped him on the back’ or some stupid harmless contact and they charged them with assault
Battery, misdemeanor of the first degree.
84.03 Battery; felony battery.—
(1)(a) The offense of battery occurs when a person:
1. Actually and intentionally touches or strikes another person against the will of the other; or
…
(b) Except as provided in subsection (2) or subsection (3), a person who commits battery commits a misdemeanor of the first degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083.(a) For a misdemeanor of the first degree, by a definite term of imprisonment not exceeding 1 year;
(d) $1,000, when the conviction is of a misdemeanor of the first degree.
This means the dude who clapped Rudy on the back would be a criminal too, so I’m betting this is just you reaching and not anything that would hold up in court.
Don’t be like trump voters. Be a normal person.
Our legal system is smart enough to understand the difference in intent in these two actions, even if our populace is not.
What intent exactly do you think is happening here? You think that hand on the shoulder was trying to harm her?
The populace is who judges cases, so idk how you think this works exactly.
Also the poster you’re replying to is claiming this should be a crime, which they are only saying because they dislike the representative involved, so perhaps the public isnt as correct as we’d like to think.
Nowhere in that video is there anything approaching battery. At the time of the “shoulder touch” no one is even angry. That happens after.
Pushing someone isn’t a clap on the back. Stop defending abusers. Be a decent person.
Woah there. This is a political post on a social media site.
You better stop with those non rage inducing comments.
Trying to make a scandal out of this is like those soccer players getting brushed past then falling to the ground screaming and grabbing their leg.
The way he acted after he “angrily puts hand” on her is a lot more noteworthy to me. Like, without context it’s hard to be sure. The hand thing first seems like a “I understand what you’re saying” or a “I understand how you could think that way” and doesn’t actually seem angry to me and on it’s own is a bit of a nothing story. But the follow up? That’s is definitely not appropriate behavior and intimidatingly forcing her back like that seems uncalled for. It also seems very fast? So I don’t know if something happened to him before this? Not to say it excuses it, but there’s a difference between someone who is displaying default behavior or someone who has just had a really awful day and doesn’t normally act like this.
Time for the impeachment trial for yelling at someone. And “angrily put hand on”
No one said that. But you should be aware of your representatives if they can’t handle themselves properly. It’s important information.
Trying to make a scandal out of what a woman does with her doctor is much better.
If the roles were reversed would you still sarcastically recommend that Tom Wright have a Rudy-Giuliani-back-pat moment?
Edit: I admit that I did not watch the video when I made this comment, which I admit was short-sighted of me. I think the headline for this article is a bit misleading and the real egregious part is the end of the video where he gets in her face and acts menacingly towards her. I think the scandal is justified.
Yes if she angrily put hand on this guys shoulder it would be an equally dumb scandal.
