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.”

It may be an idiom or was used as one. But the Left have just about criminalized idioms going back to the Clintons. And Robert Reich knows that.

No. Sorry. The meaning may ultimately be meant as a metaphor, but the first image that came to my mind was a large man striking her hard across her face with the back of the hand. My wife’s first thought was that he was encouraging people to go beat her up.

And the communist midget from Hell wanted folks to have that image come to their mind. The midget deserves every bit of bad press, condemnation, rebuke, anger, disgust that it receives. It should crawl back under its slimy rock and commune with its father, the father of lies.

You notice the pattern with all these little trolls in power?

Reich, Fauci are all a bunch of nasty wannbe tyrants.

Napoleon Complex plagues our country with these little men.

Synama is an idiot for even staying with her party. You watch. She’ll suddenly switch when her poll numbers go down.

Sinema will probably be Arizona’s next John McCain. She’ll be a maverick democrat and be elected to the Senate as often as she wants. I suspect she’ll be a senator when I die of old age.

Reich should be co-starring as “Tattoo” in a remake of the TV series “Fantasy Island.” “the plane ! The plane !”

“Mr. Reich, please stand up.”

“I AM standing.”
