Watch this MN Republican Legislator Snatch the Mic During a Debate

Of course, the Democratic candidate is a woman, so that explains it, I guess. UGH. Mic snatching at about 2 minutes in:

"Gimme that microphone, little lady!"

It's a red district, so he'll probably get away with it. MineralMan Oct 2018 #2

rude and crude. He snatches the Mic then basically throws it down because (presumably) Mahlberg didn't smile sweetly and take it back.

Example of a jerk performance.

Regardless of a man's political tilt. The problem with a lot of this is that this aggressive behavior is being encouraged, an anything goes attitude when it comes to demonsrating (or attempting to demonstrate) dominance.

There will always be jerks. The King of Jerkdom is sitting in the White House.

Ugh!

In a just world, that man would have just cost himself an election through his boorish, rude behavior. Sadly, we do not live in a just world, so aggressive, noxious people sometimes still win.
