Response to Reply #128 |
| 129. I think the differences lie with our perception of the incident |
|
I don't think her reaction was really 'hitting.' It seemed mild. A natural, defensive reaction to being grabbed from behind. She apologized. She regretted her reaction. I still don't think she intended to strike out in the manner she did.
I think it was the Capitol Police who overreacted to the incident, prompting Rep. McKinney's initial statements. It wasn't the first time she was accosted by them. THEY had apologized in the past.
Perceptions.
I don't think Rep. McKinney believes 'hitting' people is a Good Idea either.
