(57,781 posts)It is clearly edited to repeat the same two seconds of action on a repeat loop. It does not begin to show the entire incident. It shows her shoving him in what appears to be an effort to get him to leave. It doesn't show what happened before that led to the bruises the lawyer alleges Grayson gave his wife. It proves absolutely nothing but that people here value a Democratic politician far more than the life of a woman.
I have learned that if a child is raped by a man believed to be a Democrat, he gets a free pass. If a guy who has a website rapes two women, people here will go to the mat to defend him and shield him from prosecution, and if a woman files assault charges against a Democratic congressman, she will be disbelieved and vilified. People won't wait to see what the investigation yields. They watch an obviously edited video and proclaim him the victim and her the abuser, despite the fact that she rather than he filed assault charges with police. I don't know the facts of this case, but I do know that as a woman, my life clearly means nothing to many on this site. If I were to be raped, beaten, or killed by a male Democrat, I would be similarly vilified. I find all of this an unconscionable dismissal of the value of women's lives.
