President Obama was interrupted by Neil Munro of The Daily Caller today
during a White House presser announcing the administration's politically
motivated decision to grant amnesty to a large number of illegal immigrants.
Let's go to the video:
Mr. Munro explained himself at his site:
“I always go to the White House prepared with questions for our
president. I timed the question believing the president was closing his
remarks, because naturally I have no intention of interrupting the President
of the United States. I know he rarely takes questions before walking away
from the podium. When I asked the question as he finished his speech, he
turned his back on the many reporters, and walked away while I and at least
one other reporter asked questions.”
Members of the Obama shill brigade were not amused:
Diane Sawyer, who co-anchored ABC’s live coverage of the presidential
statement, said afterward that Mr. Munro, despite his White House
credentials, was “clearly considered a heckler.”
...
Paul Brandus, a White House reporter who posts to the Twitter account
West Wing Reports, wrote that it was “an extraordinary exchange.” He wrote
that Mr. Munro was wearing a temporary press credential, not a permanent
one.
“Essential to ask all presidents questions. Sometimes we have to raise
our voices as they walk away. But let him finish his remarks,” Mr. Brandus
wrote on Twitter after the exchange, calling Mr. Munro’s behavior “boorish
.”
Mr. Munro will, I'm certain, be deemed to be persona-non-grata post haste by
Obama and his minions but given what this administration has done today,
completely circumventing Congress doing so purely for political reasons, I
say Munro's actions are warranted.
As apparently do Mr. Munro's employers:
Tucker Carlson, Editor-in-Chief: “I don’t remember Diane Sawyer
scolding her colleague Sam Donaldson for heckling President Reagan. And she
shouldn’t have. A reporter’s job is to ask questions and get answers. Our
job is to find out what the federal government is up to. Politicians often
don’t want to tell us. A good reporter gets the story. We’re proud of Neil
Munro.”
Neil Patel, Publisher: “The President today announced a very
controversial policy and does not want to answer tough questions about it.
Neil Munro is a veteran Washington reporter who today tried his best to time
his question to be first as the President was wrapping up his remarks. He
in no way meant to heckle the President of the United States.”
Clearly, this President thinks he's King Obama... and too many of his
psycophants in the media, most of whom are covering for him anyway, think
the same.
November can't get here soon enough. | P*********0
