    1. @JLT Changeshifter Save your breath JLT. bella noir didn’t learn his stupidity in school. He learned that from mom, and dad. At home.

    1. @Jorgen dahl I wish we didn’t have to support the rude obnoxious orange guy

      But that’s how much the democrats suck

      We really don’t want to see USA turn into the sh!thole we escaped from. We have seen these anti liberty plots by power mongers ( you hating peoples with different opinions, government can solve all your problems, making you believe you are victim and only they can save)

      Please amigo, I no bot , I am your amigo and don’t want to see you get the Weenie

    2. …but this is the thing, can not she simply ask him to wear a mask rather than saying “you will not disrespect me…….etc”
      Overdramatic!

    3. @Sharon Williams If the word “ignorant” were a person, it would be ashamed to be associated with a jerk like Noneshere.

    1. @Sereana Duwai liberals calling for violence? So strange. Thought you were all about peaceful protest

    1. @Moore Or Less don’t think you should call a person racists for no reason, and I don’t think I’m as tough as you, I’m sure you get beat up.a lot

    2. @Moore Or Less have you, ever in your life, tapper on someone’s shoulder to ask them a question? Or to get their attention when in a scenario where you need to be quiet, such as a theater? How do you live in society if something so benign is so unforgivable?

    1. @John Langevin the weak, brainwashed, easy to bow down, obey and submit sheeple need to stay on the farm if they are that afraid and paranoid

  1. Her colleague’s behavior was unacceptable. For some reason that is becoming more and more unclear, I expect more from our government employees.

    1. @$hiek Yobooty You didn’t find a comment on Foxnews, so stop spreading misinformation thank you 😂😂😂😭😭🔴🔴

  2. So this man wanted to “apologize” by talking to her UNMASKED again and trying to TOUCH her again? Obnoxious. It’s obviously his normal behavior.

    1. @Matt Russillo Nah I’m telling you nobody obeys that law. It’s not one or two people here and there. No Republican wears a mask, from the top Senators down to the interns. Nobody is going to do anything to them, so why bother?

    2. @Fabi Grossi: Well, he’s from Kentucky. Just look at Moscow Mitch. There’s not a decent, honorable politician in the entire state.

  3. “You will not disrespect me. I will bring you up in front of ethics and everything else.”
    Way to shut that clown down, Congresswoman! 🤡

    1. @Roberta Cline your message doesn’t make sense. I’m happy to reply, but I’m afraid your message was lost in garbled grammar. Care to rephrase?

    2. @Michael LaPlant race and sex have something to do with this? That doesn’t sound right. This sounds like two political adversaries being assholes to each other. Both of them. One of them then apologized and the other decided to smear it across national media. Definitely two assholes. Not news. Thanks.

  4. This is just awful where is the professionalism and the general respect for a coworker? He should be ashamed keep your hands to yourself.

    1. @PKcrash you act like a child you get treated like a child and in the end he got tamed like a child and had to do a public apology any other workplace he would’ve been fired these Congress people and senators can practically do anything in the workplace with no repercussions if they have any other job none of them would have a job 50% of them would’ve been fired along time ago

    2. And Hal Rogers is exactly the pig you imagine him to be, he’s served since 1981 and they’re one of the worst states for wealth and health. He’s done nothing for his state.

  5. The worse and truly sad part about this incident is that nothing will happen to that miserable disrespectful individual!

    1. Actually, something DID happen to this individual: he was publicly disgraced and his true colors became known to many people (close and distant) who might have otherwise thought him a nicer, more decent, more respectful person. Just because he wasn’t censured or punished officially, it doesn’t mean he’s not experiencing some negative psychological and/or social repercussions.

    2. @Ani C I disagree. For every person who condemns his behavior, there will be one who supports it.

      Let’s see what happens with his fundraising during the next three months.

      He should be censured.

  6. I feel sorry for these people having to work in such a Hostile Environment workplace. Its time for Ethics Department start doing something about this.

    1. this has been inside of these people for years!! Look at how many of them that were in office long bfor drumph got there, drumph just gave them the green light, and told them, it’s okay my racist, MYSOGINIST, antisemitic, bigoted REPUBLIKKKLAN POLITICIANS,you ALL can come out of the closet!!!! That’s why they have no problem doing what they’re doing!!!
