Article really makes Tom Wright seem like a psycho piece of shit. Screaming at and placing hands on the staffers of the battered women's shelter in front of the bus full of battered women. He was issued a trespass warning by the police and told to stay away.
He's also stopping people from funding the shelter with evidenceless accusations of human trafficking. What a low down bastard, should have his kneecaps broken by a gang of battered women.

I'd argue that Tom Wight does that all by himself without the article.
Certainly a fair interpretation of the report

Exactly. He comes off as the sort of guy the shelter was designed to protect women from.
Tom Wright needs to be investigated for the same claims he makes. He clearly has problems.
I wouldn't be surprised if this guy is full-on "red-pilled," believing that the trafficking also involves satanic rituals. This guy sounds unhinged and possibly dangerous.
TALLAHASSEE — Senate leaders have been silent about an angry confrontation between Republican Sen. Tom Wright and a female staffer at a Daytona Beach shelter for battered and abused women and their children over the Labor Day weekend.
According to police reports, Wright yelled, lunged at, and placed his hand on the shoulder of a staff member who stopped Wright from getting on a bus full of the shelter’s residents out of concern for protecting their identities.
Why? Just why? The fuck is his end game?
Reactionaries gonna react.
Speculation: someone he knows is in that or a similar shelter, and he's melting down because she's out of his control.
As much violence as they can get away with against everyone against whom they can get away with it is the American conservative end game.
Wright could be admonished, censured or even removed from office if the investigation concludes he did something illegal.
*emphasis mine
What happened to the days where someone who acted unprofessional or out of line in a position of public service was removed or had the god damn decency to resign in shame?
You’re supposed to be representing people. You’re supposed to follow an ethical code.
Conservatives, especially Florida conservatives, are absolutely following their ethical code.
Yeah, but this is Florida ...
Be interesting if, instead of commenting here, it was more common to just look up the phone number of a public servant, call their office, and express ones concern for the mental health of the senator. One may end up speaking with a member of the senators staff, but it sure seems more meaningful than commenting here, especially if one is able to remain civil while doing so. Might mean something to a person who actually works with the senator if people were to demonstrate proper human behavior in contrast to horrible actions.
A lot of rep offices are automated now bc plenty of people do call. And when they do answer, it's a staffer who only offers boilerplate responses. What I'm saying is that calling them isn't anymore meaningful in the majority of cases than commenting online. Now, going to that rep's office in person... that's much harder for them to ignore.
I live across the country from Florida senator Anger-issues. Having a conversation in the phone with someone who even works in his office is way better than doing nothing. I am saying that it might be good to connect on a human level to express concern. You do you, though. Tell me how it goes visiting his office?
Ha, that's a great joke, what's the next one?
These are the actions of a monied, powerful predator that got stood up to by a woman. This is spite and misogyny.
I look forward to his mugshot.
