Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett was slapped by a supporter after he conceded last night to Gov. Scott Walker in the Wisconsin recall election.
WISN-TV, an ABC affiliate, shot the video. Reporter Terry Sater said in his report the woman was upset that Barrett called the Republican governor while there were still voters in the building trying to cast their ballots.

Sater told Politico that the woman asked if she could slap him, but Barrett had said "I'd rather you hug me."
Walker defeated Barrett, a Democrat, by 7 percentage points in the contentious recall election. Both candidates said it was time to heal the wounds from the divisive race, sparked by Walker's push to curb collective-bargaining rights of public sector unions.
