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.

The Ghoul’s moment had much more to do with gown ”severe” the back-pat was- claiming it was life threatening when it was relatively gentle.

His reaction was over the top and that got him mocked.

Here, the first moment is absolutely assault. It’s relatively mild use of force, but he did push her back, made physical contact and constitutes assault. It’s. It really being exaggerated.

Yes if she angrily put hand on this guys shoulder it would be an equally dumb scandal.
