Rep. Maxine Waters just shoved me and angrily stormed off as I asked her questions. (Not a violent shove but she initiated physical contact)

Yes, she "pushed" my arm which was holding the microphone. "Push" is a synonym of "shove."

Doesn't "shove" imply a full-body motion?

yes, i would think 'shove' would imply using the full weight of one's body, not swiping away someone's mic or hand.

No, it doesn't imply a full body motion. There are gradations. I said from the very outset that it wasn't egregiously violent or assaultive.pic.twitter.com/XgyDJsAjYJ

If you are admitting it wasn't violent or assaultive, then why are you making a big stink about it?

I sent 3-4 tweets about it. Then, once people grossly distorted what occurred, I sent a few more. That's the extent of the "stink."

You tweeted out that Maxine Waters 'shoved' you. If it wasn't that big of a deal, why tweet about it in the first place?

Also why not post the video as well? Why did someone else have to?

Because I was on my phone and didn't have access to the video initially. I tweeted it when the full video became available.
