If it was just black and white, then yes he was over the top, man handling the woman. BUT this was a protester in a private dinner and I’m pretty sure they’re sick to the back teeth of them, similar to how Hunts feel about Sabs. So he lost his rag and marched her out. And he was always going to use the excuse that he thought she was armed, because after all, she could well have been.
My personal opinion is he’s done nothing wrong and should’ve kicked her up the arse for good measure.
