It was supposed to be a county budget meeting in Chattooga County, Ga., last Friday — but before it could even begin, the county commissioner’s wife stormed in and dumped a soda on a reporter’s head.
The shocking moment, captured partially on video, stunned the room into silence. Chattooga County Sole Commissioner Jason Winters’s jaw dropped. He uttered, “Oh, my God.” Another voice said: “There you go. I’m sick of it” — and Winters appeared to nod his head in agreement at his wife’s actions.
Meanwhile, the reporter sat at the table drenched, saying nothing.
“Oh, that’s classy!” a taxpayer attending the meeting yelled at Winters’s wife, Abbey Winters, (snip)
Abbey Winters has since been charged with simple battery and disorderly conduct in the bizarre soda attack on AllOnGeorgia reporter Casie Bryant, which witnesses told police appeared to be completely unprovoked. People and reporters attending the meeting said they could hear Abbey Winters say “You deserve that” just after dumping the drink on Bryant’s head, according to the police report and the Summerville News, which was at the meeting. The 39-year-old reporter did not say anything in response but calmly got up and left the room as the soda dripped down her face and onto her coat, witnesses said.
(snip) according to the police report, Abbey Winters told Summerville, Ga., police that she had “accidentally” poured the drink on Bryant’s head “after stumbling/tripping near her.”

The incident comes amid mounting concerns about hostility toward journalists starting at the highest levels of government, with President Trump’s frequent cries of “fake news,” and trickling down to local news.

It would be nice if I could read these articles from the Washington Post. Can’t because of the pay wall.
Well I'm a guy so here:.......+1
Guaranteed there’s more to this story. Popcorn worthy.
That was my first thought. If so, she and the husband deserved it.
On the Summerville News facebook, someone who claims to know the story says she deserved it.
Hey, nothing happens when cops get stuff thrown on them.
BTW, that big smile is her booking pic.

So, some unknown person who could actually, oh....just not like the reporter, could say the reporter deserved it and folks are supposed to accept that as Gospel?
Woa.
Has nothing been learned from trusting folks without any true evidence????????
FBI, CIA, Media, ring a bell????
Thank you.
As a general rule of no fan of having anything poured over my head, but if Abbey Winters becomes single, I’m willing to let her give it a shot with me.
Imho, Meagan Flynn has TDS.

Does anyone know what’s going on here?
Is is a flaming libtard reporter who was harassing a non-democrat?
Or a flaming libtard who tossed the drink?
Of course my original comment is pure speculation, but I don’t think it’s out of the realm of possibilities, either. Time will tell, because whatever the history is, it’s going to come out at some point.
