not just at the end. Huntsman was extremely patient.

So he said he was sorry. Did that make up for his obliviousness? The moment for saying "I'm sorry" was when she pushed his hand away. Instead, he threw his hand back in her face. Only after that reaction did he catch himself and say he was sorry.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Highlight:

That moment when Abby Huntsman tried to push Bernie out of her space [View all] pnwmom Aug 2019 OP

It's bad, but he did say "I am sorry." Nt spooky3 Aug 2019 #1

Huntsman looked uncomfortable throughout the segment, pnwmom Aug 2019 #2

No. He should have known better. NurseJackie Aug 2019 #8

Significantly, this boorish behavior isn't isolated but repetitive. Hortensis Aug 2019 #71

That's true. A pattern can clearly be seen here. NurseJackie Aug 2019 #91

Didn't he push his wife out of the way once too? cwydro Aug 2019 #93

Yes he did. George II mentions it in post 75... NurseJackie Aug 2019 #94

My father was older than he is, and my father treated women with immense respect. cwydro Aug 2019 #96

That long ago men were expected to act gentlemenly Hortensis Aug 2019 #97

+1000. ehrnst Aug 2019 #99

He shouldn't have had to say he was sorry, he should have respected her in the first place. George II Aug 2019 #74

Amen! Complete lack of respect. NurseJackie Aug 2019 #105

Maybe it's just another instance of "cooperative overlapping" lapucelle Aug 2019 #3

That's exactly right. Zero regard. Zero respect. NurseJackie Aug 2019 #4

Well said, NurseJackie! nt pnwmom Aug 2019 #6

I thought it was cute. And they made a joke of it. She smiled and he apologized. Hassin Bin Sober Aug 2019 #5

She was visibly uncomfortable throughout the segment, holding herself in, pnwmom Aug 2019 #9

There was absolutely NOTHING cute about the disrespect being given to her. NurseJackie Aug 2019 #10

Her body language is unmistakable. How anyone could think she was having a good time pnwmom Aug 2019 #13

Maybe she was uncomfortable because she is a republican next teh greatness that is teh Bernie. Hassin Bin Sober Aug 2019 #72

. Hassin Bin Sober Aug 2019 #14

Ellen has a well-designed set. NurseJackie Aug 2019 #15

It is so cute when men disrespect women. murielm99 Aug 2019 #12

At least he likes cats. The Velveteen Ocelot Aug 2019 #26

Why is Bernie smiling as he chokes that cat? What an evil man. n/t zackymilly Aug 2019 #30

You forgot somethign Lordquinton Aug 2019 #69

It's Cat Gate! Hassin Bin Sober Aug 2019 #79

I figured it was obvious. nt zackymilly Aug 2019 #84

I guess to you a woman feeling uncomfortable is a joke? George II Aug 2019 #109

Why didn't he think about it before he did it? Then he wouldn't have had to say "I'm sorry", right? George II Aug 2019 #81

A grown man shouldn't need people to make excuses for boorish behavior... NurseJackie Aug 2019 #87

I'm not even sure he was apologizing to her or Stephen Moore. George II Aug 2019 #89

You are correct. He was not apologizing to her. NurseJackie Aug 2019 #90

"It was her fault". What's disappointing is a few here are making very weak jokes about it. George II Aug 2019 #110

More than merely disappointing... NurseJackie Aug 2019 #111

People aren't going to get that this is sarcasm. SouthernProgressive Aug 2019 #104

Damn. Bernie's got his hand inches from her face through most of this. oasis Aug 2019 #7

You're correct. It's not very presidential. The person I vote for will have a better demeanor... NurseJackie Aug 2019 #11

'Presidential' is not a word I use anymore crazytown Aug 2019 #46

Alternative headline: Abby Huntsman grabs Bernie. He doesn't like it. TCJ70 Aug 2019 #16

Yep. Technically that was misdemeanor battery. Hassin Bin Sober Aug 2019 #17

No, it was rude and disrespectful. Nobody deserves to be treated that way. NurseJackie Aug 2019 #20

What does this have to do with Me Too? Hassin Bin Sober Aug 2019 #47

It has to do with male entitlement, and failure to treat women as equal human beings. pnwmom Aug 2019 #51

:) I think Hassin was joking about misdemeanor battery. Hortensis Aug 2019 #62

I'm not as sure. NurseJackie Aug 2019 #64

Did you see Hassin's post #5? Was that a joke, too? n/t pnwmom Aug 2019 #65

Cute?! But if serious, the first one's even funnier. Hortensis Aug 2019 #76

MeToo? Did he sexually assault/harass her?! Oh wait... TCJ70 Aug 2019 #73

I wouldn't go that far, but you just don't grab other people. TCJ70 Aug 2019 #58

That's a joke, right? She would have had to interrupt the animated discussion the men were having, pnwmom Aug 2019 #18

Then interrupt. But don't just grab someone else. If you're uncomfortable, speak up. N/t TCJ70 Aug 2019 #22

OMG! Blaming Abby Huntsman? NurseJackie Aug 2019 #24

The problem is we see different offenses here. TCJ70 Aug 2019 #33

Nonsense. NurseJackie Aug 2019 #34

Defending herself? From what? Someone who isn't touching her? N/t TCJ70 Aug 2019 #36

Yes. Rudeness and disrespect come in many forms. NurseJackie Aug 2019 #38

Like grabbing someone else? N/t TCJ70 Aug 2019 #39

Absurd. NurseJackie Aug 2019 #42

That was self-defense. pnwmom Aug 2019 #53

She didn't grab him "out of the blue." She took his hand and pushed it away after several minutes pnwmom Aug 2019 #61

Bernie wouldn't have reacted instantly. She would have had several seconds more pnwmom Aug 2019 #25

There are multiple ways out of that situation: TCJ70 Aug 2019 #37

Yeah sure, she's the one who violated his personal space Hav Aug 2019 #41

Backing up????? She was seated with her back in a chair. She had no space in which to back up. pnwmom Aug 2019 #43

Admittedly I don't know the structure of the studio... TCJ70 Aug 2019 #54

Bernie's obviously not a mind reader. A mind reader would have shown more empathy. pnwmom Aug 2019 #59

This conversation started about invading space, flip the people in this one... TCJ70 Aug 2019 #60

If SHE had been flapping her hand in front of his face or other sensitive areas, pnwmom Aug 2019 #63

I'll have to take you at your word for that. TCJ70 Aug 2019 #76

Abby was patient to a fault. She finally pushed Bernie's arm oasis Aug 2019 #19

An excellent description. Thank you. Perfect word. NurseJackie Aug 2019 #21

Abby probably has a sense that Bernie's not a mean guy at heart oasis Aug 2019 #35

Cluelessness? He talks with his hands and always has. TCJ70 Aug 2019 #23

Everyone at that table was talking with their hands. But he was the only one who kept pnwmom Aug 2019 #27

Blame the victim, eh? -- Sorry, there's just NO excuse for that type of behavior. None! NurseJackie Aug 2019 #31

How would you describe it? We both know Bernie wasn't aware oasis Aug 2019 #40

I think clueless implies a level of ineptitude that... TCJ70 Aug 2019 #50

If Bernie "had a clue" he was invading Abby's space would oasis Aug 2019 #57

How about boorish? Can we all agree on that one? Hortensis Aug 2019 #80

Works for me. NurseJackie Aug 2019 #83

Boorish is what I thought too. LakeArenal Aug 2019 #101

Hmmm. He wasn't "thoughtless" here, though, and Hortensis Aug 2019 #103

Body language indicates discomfort. NurseJackie Aug 2019 #106

Or understandable caution. :) Killer Mike doesn't seem like Hortensis Aug 2019 #108

I see. He's capable enough in that clip LakeArenal Aug 2019 #113

My DIL is in the same position. A long time ago Hortensis Aug 2019 #115

Don't know where you work... GulfCoast66 Aug 2019 #86

Yes. That second thing. Gross. NurseJackie Aug 2019 #32

I remember watching this live DesertRat Aug 2019 #29

Do you mean "uncomfortable"? pnwmom Aug 2019 #44

Yes, sorry I typed too quickly! DesertRat Aug 2019 #68

I remember when this was run through the outrage Wurlitzer several years ago. Hassin Bin Sober Aug 2019 #45

I remember when he was running for President several years ago. pnwmom Aug 2019 #66

This non issue was just as silly then as it is now. Hassin Bin Sober Aug 2019 #78

She was VERY angry, otherwise she wouldn't have pushed his hand away. Not something to be.... George II Aug 2019 #88

That's the only time I've ever felt sorry for Jane. NurseJackie Aug 2019 #98

"Published on Apr 6, 2013"?! Why are you posting a video from over SIX YEARS AGO? Princetonian Aug 2019 #48

Everything concerning a Presidential candidate needs to be posed in "Democratic Primaries" pnwmom Aug 2019 #49

The question is why you don't post more frequently in favor of a candidate, rather than digging emmaverybo Aug 2019 #102

BS is a candidate in the 2020 presidential primary. That's why. George II Aug 2019 #82

god what a stupid show.. pangaia Aug 2019 #67

Reminds me of the time he told Jane not to stand next to him and pushed her back, twice. George II Aug 2019 #75
