To me, he’s clearly pulling her hand away with a potentially sharp object and doesn’t even look at her as he goes by to catch up with Trump. Doesn’t notice she falls down. Isn’t clear from his angle she’s a reporter. Doesn’t say anything to her.
Man, the definition of “battery” here is really broad. Now, he DID claim he didn’t touch her. That is out.
He doesn't even look at her in the video. I think it's entirely plausible that he would claim to have no knowledge of the event.
It doesn't look like the sort of thing one would remember when moving through a large crowd trying to keep up with the candidate.
I thought she claimed he had practically thrown her to the ground???
THAT is the most upsetting thing she's had to deal with since her father's death? Oh, to lead so charmed a life!
“Doesn’t notice she falls down.”
She fell down? I haven’t seen a video that shows that. She doesn’t even drop her phone or change the expression on her face.
