His denial was in response to her “thrown down” allegation. Had she been more honest about what happened maybe he’d have remembered what she was talking about, then again the incident was so unremarkable he may not have.
Also in the original recording you can hear the SS agents warning her.
Either she did this intentionally hoping to have a serious altercation, like she has before, or she’s just another bimbette reporter, or both. Remember there was the WaPo photographer that just happened to have her and Trump center frame at the moment and the WaPo writer standing next to her.
Read post #51 and #82 above to see that you’re WRONG!
