Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-OH) says Rep. Hal Rogers (R-KY) poked her and told her to "kiss my ass" after she asked him to wear a mask on a train. Rogers apologized publicly for the incident. #CNN #News
GOP lawmaker apologizes after this tense altercation over masks
if they show THAT much disrespect for a colleague, imagine how much disdain they have for their voters.
Whew, I hadn’t even thought about like that!
@Bella Noir No, he isn’t that story is being reported on Fox and The Hill.
@Bella Noir So you signed up 90 days ago. Just to troll, or to show us all how classless you really are?
@JLT Changeshifter Save your breath JLT. bella noir didn’t learn his stupidity in school. He learned that from mom, and dad. At home.
@Montgomery Hill: We don’t have to imagine. It’s evident every single day.
Another Republican demonstrating his class and integrity.
@Carlos Rivas get lost bot
@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
…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!
@missusri Really, watch the footage before commenting, knowledge is key.
@Sharon Williams If the word “ignorant” were a person, it would be ashamed to be associated with a jerk like Noneshere.
I totally agree with Democratic Congresswoman Joyce Beatty.
@Sereana Duwai liberals calling for violence? So strange. Thought you were all about peaceful protest
@Sereana Duwai fu
@Effscott Fitz-gee Guess again racist. We won WWII. Liberals will mess a fascist right up.
@jon pork fu2
Hello 👋🏻 how are you doing 🌸🇺🇸
They are loosing their minds. You keep your hands to yourself. This is getting out of hand.
@Sara Mill troll account reported
@THE NINJACAT “No person should put their hands on another person without their consent”…. FIFY
@Jkrogs18 👈 Russian troll. Don’t respond.
Hello 👋🏻 how are you doing 🌸🇺🇸
Hope she follows through. People like him needs to be held accountable
@Roger Thomas lmao. You think you are tough which is actually pretty hilarious.
@Effscott Fitz-gee assault – words, actions and intent
@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
@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?
@Debora Tracz care to clarify?
Rep. Beatty is brave, classy & strong. She should never have been treated this way.
@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
@Robert Athey And HE should keep his paws away from other people’s bodies.
@Robert Athey Robert says BAAAA
@Jkrogs18 👈 Russian sympathizer/troll. Don’t respond.
Her colleague’s behavior was unacceptable. For some reason that is becoming more and more unclear, I expect more from our government employees.
Really…..you do? Why?😕
@Sara Mill
You’re not serious, right?
@$hiek Yobooty You didn’t find a comment on Foxnews, so stop spreading misinformation thank you 😂😂😂😭😭🔴🔴
@Sara Mill <----- troll account.
@Carlos Cruz Sara is a trump troll.
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.
@ReddNurse 1969 Right? 6 years later and they’re STILL obsessed with Obama! 😂
@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?
@Faux Que another tough sounding republican
It’s called entitlement.
@Fabi Grossi: Well, he’s from Kentucky. Just look at Moscow Mitch. There’s not a decent, honorable politician in the entire state.
Ridiculous this happened, but I love that she stood up for herself!
👍🏻
Pfffft ! Bunch of loud mouth people who think they are the boss, well, you aint
@Terry Collins Her or him?
Exactly
“You will not disrespect me. I will bring you up in front of ethics and everything else.”
Way to shut that clown down, Congresswoman! 🤡
arrest her for hate speech!!!!
@Sara Mill gfy maga 🤡
@Sara Mill troll account reported
@Sara Mill 👈 I’ve seen this bot everywhere. Don’t respond to it.
Not wearing his mask aside, the immature poke and disrespectful retort are an embarrassment.
@Sara Mill 🤣 No can do, diaper shortage…trump’s diaper needs cleared the shelves. Traitor.
@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?
@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.
@Z Schneider she was disrespectful too
@Sara Mill <------- known ignorant trump troll spewing hate.
So, posted rules don’t apply to Congressmen who just don’t like them……got it.
This is just awful where is the professionalism and the general respect for a coworker? He should be ashamed keep your hands to yourself.
@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
PKCrash
A responsible adult wears a mask when asked. Or you can act like a spoiled child
I would charge him with assault when he touched her, the GQP is so pathetic
@PKcrash you are a child though or at least very childish.
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.
The worse and truly sad part about this incident is that nothing will happen to that miserable disrespectful individual!
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.
No he will get promoted .
@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.
I do not believe his apology is sincere. He’s just sorry he couldn’t intimidate her.
He apologized for his “words.” I notice he did not apologize or the mask violation or the poke.
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.
It’s disgraceful what has happened to the GOP since Trump becoming their leader.
@rburk854 True. I said at least in the last 5 years.
Serious TDS ouch ^
Oh! 😫 TRUMP! 😭 😂🤭
They have always been like that, Trump only emboldened them.
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!!!
Good for her STANDING UP TO THE REPUBLICAN BULLIES! WE NEED MORE PEOPLE WITH COURAGE LIKE HER!
