The clip is truncated to omit key context; in a longer clip, the mayoral candidate emphasizes the importance of consent.

Full clip shows this was a humorous exchange. Humor often doesn't land the same way for everyone. Tweet is an opinion stating what about the joke isn't funny and what is says about a political candidate who found it humorous.

When Andrew Yang was asked about choking “bitches,” he laughed. But violence against women isn’t a joke and downplaying it is disqualifying for any public servant. New York already has a governor who disregards women’s safety and well-being. We deserve better from our mayor.
