A video showing Polish Senator Wojciech Skurkiewicz grabbing TVP journalist Justyna Dobrosz-Oracz's microphone during a tense exchange about Ukraine has gone viral.
When Skurkiewicz reached for the mic, Dobrosz-Oracz firmly responded, "Please do not touch me."
The moment quickly caught people's attention online.

Why everyone's talking about it

The clip set off a wave of debate on X (formerly Twitter). Some called out the senator for trying to silence the press, while others felt the journalist was being too pushy.
For many, it highlights just how tense things can get between politicians and reporters—especially when tough topics like war are involved.
