Mary Morrissey apologizes after being filmed dumping liquid into backpack of Democratic legislator Jim Carroll
Mary Morrissey apologizes after being filmed dumping liquid into backpack of Democratic legislator Jim Carroll
What is pouring water in his bag supposed to do? Is she trying to destroy his electronics or just mildly annoying.
She wants to fuck with him but is to cowardly to do it to his face.
Man, I had a nickel for every time my mom told me “When a member of the Vermont House of Representatives picks on you, that means she likes you”, I’d have, like, all these nickels.
Tfw no members of the Vermont house of Representatives secretly pour water into your bag for months on end. I guess they hate me.
Not fuck him but fuck with him. Although with Boebert giving a hand job to some Democratic aide at a theater performance with children in attendance, maybe she does want to fuck him.
It’s a gaslighting attempt.
He keeps discovering moisture in his bag, he’s gonna go looking for causes. No causes seem to make any sense, so then he starts thinking maybe bags are always moist and he never noticed before. Maybe not exactly this path, but it will be some escalating set of irrationalities developing as he tries to reconcile what he’s seeing.
Even when a person knows they’re being gaslit, unless they manage to escape the situation with concrete action, it will still degrade their sanity.
In this case, he was lucky enough that she was doing something that could be caught on film easily, and he was fortunate that he actually took the steps to figure out how it was happening.
In other words, he trusted his gut that it wasn’t accidental, and then he gathered evidence to resolve the ambiguity. He handled this correctly, and successfully escaped the damage that gaslighting normally causes.

She doesn’t even know!
