Months after a viral parliamentary clash captured international attention, German lawmaker Martin Reichardt revisited his infamous exchange with colleague Kathi Gebel during a session of the Bundestag. The original confrontation took place in March, when Gebel responded to an interruption by the Alternative for Germany MP by noting that the clitoris possesses 3,000 nerve endings and remarking that Reichardt was nonetheless "still more sensitive." That sharp retort and Reichardt's visible reaction quickly spread across social media platforms.
In October, the incident was brought back into the spotlight during a legislative debate concerning family policy and maternity protections for self-employed individuals. As he concluded his speech from the podium, Reichardt referenced the earlier viral moment by accusing Gebel of displaying a lack of knowledge regarding the anatomical structure she had previously mentioned. He wrapped up his remarks by offering both Gebel and another lawmaker a wish for a pleasant day.
