True, that is actually brandishing, but I don't think anybody really thought that helping a woman off of the ground while never touching or showing off your gun is brandishing.

For conservatives, words don't have meanings anymore. If a word sounds like it might have a negative connotation, then it is a word that they use to describe any opposition. They don't need to bother waiting to see what actually happened. The important thing for conservatives is to say the bad-sounding word first. Nobody has ever held them to account for lying.
