Yes, we have to cool it. Battery charges are pretty severe and we're not in Britain.

Taking a cue from protestors in the UK, a 35-year-old woman in Pensacola, FL was arrested on Saturday after allegedly throwing a milkshake at Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL).

In video of the incident. Gaetz can be seen exiting a town hall even at Brew Ha Ha in Florida when he appears to be struck by what police are saying was a milkshake.

Meanwhile, back in the U.S., police arrested 35-year-old Amanda Leigh Kondrat’yev and charged her with battery. As weartv.com reports, Kondrat’yev ran against Gaetz in 2016 for the congressional seat.

On Twitter, Gaetz responded to the attack, claiming it “takes more than a drink to slow down our great team.” Although, for what it’s worth, you can clearly see the congressman “slow down” after being hit with a milkshake as he tries to identify the perpetrator — apparently with success.

While it seems funny to do, humiliation by touching someone is pretty serious, whether a fist, rock or... milkshake.

We've got to cool it with this one.

1. I'd settle for him being disbarred.

2. Yeah, I would hate to go back in time and throw a milkshake in the face of Hitler or Goring

3. I tend to think Matt Gaetz set this up. nt
