That meets the elements of assault and battery in most jurisdictions.Cheney slapped Jordan's hand when he tried to help during Capitol riot

"Liz Cheney said she smacked away fellow Republican Representative Jim Jordan's hand during the January 6 Capitol riot when he tried to offer her help, excerpts from a new book detail. 'That f***ing guy Jim Jordan. That son of a b***h,' the excerpts from CNN claim she said, according to the book I Alone Can Fix It: Donald J. Trump's Catastrophic Final Year. Cheney, who broke with her party to criticize Trump and was recently ousted as No. 3 ranking Republican, said during the call that she ran into Jordan on the House floor during the chaos that day.
'While these maniacs are going through the place, I'm standing in the aisle and he [Jordan] said, 'We need to get the ladies away from the aisle. Let me help you,'' the Wyoming at-large representative detailed to Milley. 'I smacked his hand,' she explained, 'and told him, 'Get away from me. You f***ing did this.''
If what is being reported is true -- then Liz should not only be expelled from Congress but she should also be charged and in prison for assault on a US Congressman....and not just any US Congressman; but one of the bravest most brilliant US Congressmen in our country's history -- how dare she speak to him and treat him that way -- and for what? Because a bunch of tourists came in to speak their mind?? Is she afraid to face the music from the American people? Was she part of the plan to steal the election? It all makes sense now....
