What BBN said about it

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThe Times of India reports that Karnataka's chief minister, DK Shivakumar, says Rahul Gandhi did not push him, and he's hitting back at the BJP over a viral video from a protest in Delhi.
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentSo the video says one thing, and the man in it says another.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentExactly, and I've drawn a circle around the moment. Watch the shoulder area here, because that is where both sides are fighting.
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentA circle isn't evidence, Kenji.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentIt is on my telestrator. That's the turning point, bro, right when the clip goes from a walk to a national argument.
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentI'd call that a witness statement beating a freeze-frame.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentFinal score: one man, zero pushes, ten million replays.
