Could it be possible she cried because she knows...

[hootinholler]

How untrue the things that were being said about her husband were? I mean could she be in an abusive relationship and when the Senator was laying it on thick about how upstanding ol Sammy boy is, *that's* what put her over the top?

Probably not the case, but what a kick in the balls, er, ovaries that would be. To cry because they don't see through the bullshit and be lauded for being so supportive.

1. Tears of Joy my friend

my wife cried for 10 minutes after getting off with only a warning at a traffic stop one day.

2. My wife cried the day we married! I thought they were happy tears! nt

3. I posted a similar thought the other day :)

part of my post:

...tears, stress can often show it's ugly head when there is "some" truth
to what's being alleged...for her to hear the words "bigot" upfront, like she
did, may have triggered that "inner truth" ...that part of her husband that only
she knows could possibly be true...a part she has spent her life defending against,
but a part she knows in her own mind is there on some level. THIS CAN PROVOKE TEARS.
If what was being said was a complete LIE, a complete fabrication, then tears may not
be the response, what may be the response is a digging in of the heals and no tears.

So may I suggest that we EVALUATE "tears" on this level as well.

4. another idea is to give those tears exactly the attention they deserve,

which is NONE.

8. exactly - but the media loves this crap don't they

sick and twisted press..people in New Orleans don't even have homes yet
and this woman's tears took a whole news day..what a joke.

5. i think she freaked out

because the term "closet bigot" was so spot on.
“I’m going to be very honest with you,” Graham continued. “Are you really a closet bigot?”

She didn't seem to register that Graham was trying to be ironic. I think she thought Graham was serious, and she freaked out because she knows he is a closet bigot.
that's the way it seemed to me, others think it was staged.
The Dems look really flat footed on this one. They didn't even challenge the narrative about, "the mean dems made her cry..."
I sure wish the Dems would mount a filibuster, even if the nuclear option is triggered. We'll get the congress back at some point, and if the filibuster dies in the long run it'll help us liberals. Much progress is being made to counter the evoting fraud. They kill the filibuster at the own peril, and what have the dems got to lose but the republic.

6. She resented that it was implied he was a CLOSET bigot. nt

7. It's not the filibuster that's being threatened.

It's the judicial filibuster.
