    Thanks. Seems a pity he wasn’t slapped with a more literal cock. Might have given him a change of heart and lose most of his constituents.

      You know, I don’t know anything else about the guy, but I respect his response to the whole situation.

      He accepted the woman who threw the dildo at him was trying to make a point.

      "I was amused. Genuinely. When somebody throws something like that at you, what else are you going to be? I was surprised and then amused.

      “I don’t think she got her point across… Throwing things at people is probably not the way to go about it, but each to their own I suppose.”
