A good time was had by all.

No. She was NOT having a "good time". GMAFB!

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

He is both Skidmore Aug 2019 #28

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

Lord, give me strength! Princetonian Aug 2019 #70

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

Oi. NurseJackie Aug 2019 #85
