    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.

      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.
