I've never heard of Mediaite.com.  How do we know this is valid "reporting"?  Anything to confirm this is true?

And you simply posted a link.  What do you yourself have anything to say about this?

Do you trust Fox? https://www.foxnews.com/media/ex-labor-secretary-reich-sinema-filibuster

Here is the tweet from the original story: https://twitter.com/RBReich/status/1484223895297089539 

Yes. It is a true story and it is fucked up to intimidate a political official with physical violence just because she didn't vote the way he wanted her to.

A logical explanation? Wishing physical harm on someone can not be logically explained.

No, I don't trust Fox either. 

I did a quick search and only came up with Faux News regarding this incident.  When I have more time, I'll look further.  I will say, if this story is true, I have two reactions:  One, it would be a stupid thing to say.  People who are highly visible and influential would do well to look before they leap.  Two:  If this is really what he said, I really doubt he meant it in a literal sense.  He likely was trying to be metaphorical.  But still, that leads back to my first reaction.  That would be a stupid choice of words, poor choice at best.

But as for me, I'm not highly visible or in a position of power so I will say about Sinema, she can go.... well, maybe I will run for office someday.  Better not go  there.

Are you seriously condoning his behavior? Back of the hand means one thing. If you can't admit that or denounce it, I take it that you support beating women.

You must not have read the quote. Republicans were shaking her hand and Democrats should've given her the back of their hands. He is clearly comparing the physical touch. Not a rejection or snub.

I don't think he actually meant it this way but it is still a fucked up thing to say. It would've been one thing to only say Democrats should've given her the back of the hand but he compared it to the physical touch of shaking Republican hands.

Ok so you don't think it meant it that way...and he tweeted that he meant the rebuke

Yet you are still carrying on about it

Well...that sort of backs up his explanation that he intended it as a rebuke rather than physical violence right?

It was a poorly worded comparison. Can we agree on that?
