Supporter Slaps Tom Barrett After He Concedes Recall Election

If you were paying attention to last night’s coverage of the Wisconsin recall vote, you may have noticed that one Tom Barrett supporter grew a little slap happy over his concession. As the Milwaukee Mayor went through the crowd, shaking hands and doling out hugs, one woman asked if she could slap him. He responded that he’d prefer a hug, but she struck him across the face anyway as he leaned in for an embrace.

Watching footage of the slap during his Morning Joe appearance, former Democratic presidential hopeful Howard Dean joked that he’d never been slapped… at least, “not in my public life.”
