Today, the internet has been abuzz with comments about The Young Turks' journalist Michael Tracey, and his claim that Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters 'shoved' him as he was asking her questions.
Michael Tracey works as a journalist for TYT, and he has been skeptical of the Trump-Russia claims. He also is not a huge fan of party-line establishment Democrats like Maxine Waters, so his interaction with her today was not surprising.
As he asked her questions, she eventually got tired of answering and walked off, with a hand movement.
Tracey called this a 'shove' or a 'push', but to us it looks like what people often do to cameras and reporters. Here's what Tracey had to say about the incident:
