I would assume that there are competent people throughout DC government or else nothing would work. But at the leadership level they are universally a joke. Every. Single. One.

Yep. This is why she was so rude and pithy with Sierra Fox of Fox5 when she showed her the original video from the gym parking lot. Oh and because Sierra is attractive, pleasant and interesting. Three things Muriel has never been accused of.

Maybe we watched different videos but I don’t think she was rude at all.

Yeah. “Mayor, are you interested in submitting to ambush ‘journalism’?”

“No.”

Bowser has always been happy to hide information from the community, ambush us whenever it suited her. I have zero sympathy.

Oy, spare me with the ambush nonsense. She should email her p.r. team and wait for some fake response if one at all? Please. It's called holding public officials accountable with a mic and camera in their face. And there needs to be far MORE of it. 99% of reporters are worthless toadies to power too scared to ask them one tough question.

No, he lives in Falls Church. Fox 5 has video of the incident and, at least in what we see here, it doesn't look like he put his hands around the guy's throat. Just pushed him a little.

Just pushed him a little is also called assault.

Possibly, but the original tweet says he "allegedly grabbed the victim by the throat". I don't see that happening in the video. I am not arguing that the guy shouldn't be charged, just that the reports of what happened should be accurate.

Eh, looks like they were both posturing trying to intimidate each other. Not excusing it, but I don't see any victims here.

There is no such thing as ambush journalism when you are an elected official. That's what you signed up for. Don't like it? Step down.

So I want to hate this guy, but the video is pretty weak.

You don’t put your hands in another person. Period. You walk away. They teach you that in preK.

I cannot believe how many people apparently failed the “Use your words” lesson in pre-K.

Allegedly a known a-hole at several locations, so this wasn't a one-time thing.
