Seriously, she clearly doesn't take shit. Most politicians would have run, she knew the levels this would play out on as a symbol and so she held her ground and advanced towards him.

This is an awful moment but it also demonstrates the immense strength and courage Omar has.

Honestly her stance looked like if anything she was getting ready to deck him with a punch.

I don't even think it's that deep. Her body language and immediate response is what a whole lot of women are feeling right now and a whole lot of man-children are gonna start catching hands.
