Sen. Tom Wright angrily puts hand on domestic violence worker outside shelter - Lemmy.world

In the video, he lightly pushed her back. Definitely violated the woman’s space, and the fact he was there arguing about anything with this woman is odd, but this seems like a non-story with very little information…

This means the dude who called Rudy on the back would be a felon 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.

Pushing someone isn't a clap on the back. Stop defending abusers. Be a decent person.
