3. Newsweek says Tracy is a TYT reporter who's known for downplaying Russia election hacking.

"Tracey, an iconoclastic journalist known for an acute interest in downplaying the Russia election-hacking narrative, posted on Twitter his exchange with Representative Maxine M. Waters of California, a liberal Democrat who has vociferously called for the impeachment of President Donald J. Trump."

Michael Tracey tweeted Maxine Waters "shoved" him. Here's the video. This is what he is calling a shove.

Tracey, who was reporting for The Young Turks, is unlikely to see his employment imperiled. But he did come in for relentless mockery on social media, much of which painted him as the very kind of supremely sensitive "snowflake" the right loves to skewer.

I understand Michael Tracey's issue as Maxine Waters initiated physical contact with me as well
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
