Watch the handshake again and tell us what you don't see there either.

Slow news day, about some repub that most don't even know or care about?

Do you get emails or something that tells you about obscure things like this?

If he had been a Democrat, Democrats would have been perfectly cool with this.

There's a freakin' video link in the first post.

There was a long aggressive handshake where the antagonist was obviously trying to make a point the way he was gripping the congressmans hand and then how he repositioned it. You can see the look in the congressmans eyes like "wth is this guy doing".

Out of curiosity, where did you read that? I'm thinking it's a teensy weensy biased source? lmao.

I wonder that, too. Half the topics I see on here are from obscure websites and the like. Must be chain emails or something, I agree

The article itself that was posted in here said the man touched the congressman's shoulder. Why avoid the part where it said that the congressman lied and was confronted about it? A politician using the word "ass" to address an American in public was not cool regardless. Funny how liberals will defend a Republican when they demonize other conservatives, isn't it?

I see that too. That "Repub" IS the "asshat" in this case and I'm a Repub.

Sure thing.

Because Democrats were all over Clinton for sexual advances towards a subordinate the same way they were Clarence Thomas. And they were all over Harry Reid for his anti-immigration stance in the 90s. And they're all over Hillary Clinton for supporting the Iraq War. And you all called Bill Clinton a homophobe for singing the federal ban on gay marriage. And you are all over Obama for the drone strikes you called Bush a war criminal over.

Come off it. Don't even try it. Using selective judgment to slam conservatives over things you give leftists a pass on is standard operating procedure for you liberals. It is a constant state of being. Don't even try to bash the right for that. Pure hypocrisy.
