My husband, before we were married, did something similar.
I had drunk too much and was having a pretty intense hissy-fit, standing on the kitchen table dashing dinner plates to the floor.
He took me by the seat of my pants - tossed me onto the bed in the bedroom and closed the door.

It's something we laugh about now, more than 50 years later.
I guess if he were running for office, I could publicize the incident and hold it against his eligibility?
