Ex-Clinton Cabinet Member Apologizes for Saying That He Wanted Sinema to Be Manhandled(backhanded) Over Filibuster Vote

I mean, he probably shouldn’t have deleted it because the Internet is forever,Bob. Robert Reich served as labor secretary under Bill Clinton and was quite angry about Sen. Kyrsten Sinema’s (D-AZ) decision to not join the radical Left’s ploy to nuke the filibuster and pass an elections takeover bill. This is the bill that Democrats think would end voting rights for everyone if it doesn’t pass. It’s pathetic theater, but Sinema and Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) joined the GOP to stop the nuking of the filibuster which was needed. We all knew this was going to fail. Sinema-Manchin shouted their opposition for weeks prior to Chuck Schumer’s ‘Hail Mary’ throw here. He only managed to embarrass his party, but Reich is a close runner-up for his tweet that insinuated that Sinema should be slapped around for her filibuster vote.

Progressive men are very feminist and support strong women, except for when they advocate for violence against women who step out of line, like Kyrsten Sinema. https://t.co/yEcMnP8iKD

— Christina Pushaw ?? (@ChristinaPushaw) January 20, 2022 She shook hands with her Republican colleagues on the night of the vote. How dare she? Leah covered this story first. In Democratic Party circles, violence against women is only okay when we do it. Reich tried to backtrack.

“Last night I deleted a tweet because it was widely misinterpreted and distorted by conservative media. ‘Back of the hand’ is an idiom for rebuke. I wholeheartedly condemn violence against women.”

If that 'delete' button was just a little faster right bobby? No, it was NOT misinterpreted. And not untypical of democommies. Butt, the feminists will never admit the democommies are, and have been, like this all along. Hey bobby, bring a step stool for your attempt.

‘Back of the hand’ is an idiom for rebuke.

It is? When did that start being a thing? Last night?

Robert “Third” Reich would have to leap in the air to slap Sinema’s face. But then she’d probably hammer him down like a whack-a-mole.

“Manhandled” for apostate Democrats. If she were a Republican, he would say she should be gang raped. It’s how liberals show their tolerance.

Robert Reich needs to be backhanded by EVERY woman he interacts with. From Congresswomen to servers at restaurants. EVERY one of them.

Let him live with what he wished on others.

It’s perfectly understandable. He meant to say “person handled.”

That is NOT an apology......if anything it’s a double down on the initial comment

I think someone should place a Red Flag call on him for possible domestic violence. Use the left’s tactics against them.

What a tough guy. Robert Reich is 4’11’ tall and was a total marshmallow and weenie on his best day in his prime, which he is waaayyy past. He would need a step ladder to give Sinema the bitch slap he so desperately wants to give her. She is a stately 5”8” tall and probably would laugh off Robert Reich’s best attempt at a backhand and proceed to kick his ass. IMHO opinion, Sinema should jump parties to Republican and run against Mark Kelly. She would kick his loser ass so hard he would not hit ground until touched down in Tucson. He has been worthless and totally undistinguished as a Az Senator so far. It’s her best chance to keep her job in the Senate and she obviously loves her job. I’d vote for her in that race

......we all know Dems are s-oo-oo-oo tolerant and compassionate......until they get power......

The backlash musta been intense. Reich tried to backtrack:

Pictures of the Clinton cabinet were hilarious.

The yard gnome Reich standing a couple of bodies away from the 6’5 giraffe Janet Reno who barbecued Branch Davidians because she could.

How high would Robert Reich have to jump in order to give Sinema the back of his hand? Short people got no reason....

But the Twitter Police will probably give him a pass because nobody remembers who he is, and with the name Reich he already sounds like a Nazi.
