Christ, does anyone want to start a small fund to pay me to go ask these assholes these questions?
Cops like to hit women but let’s see them go after a middle-aged, conservative-looking white dude with privilege.

I don’t care if they shoot me. I barely want to live most days as it is.
You’re hired!
At least try to take one of them with you.
I’d really rather just ask them tough questions on camera, because someone fucking has to.
I live in a red area of a not-red state and these people, my neighbors? Most of them aren’t intentionally evil. They’re propagandized because they don’t ever see any actual news about politics.
As a former Republican: Most Republican voters would not vote for Republicans if they had accurate information about both parties.
Yeah asking questions and changing minds is one of the best things someone like you can work to do
Man, the fascists really cannot stand to be laughed at.
What a weirdo
Harris is a POS, he was touting his status as a doctor, telling people it was all overblown and not to wear masks.
And yet here in Ohio, Amy Acton (an actual doctor who was the head of the states medical department during COVID) is getting raked over the coals for every trivial thing about her mIsHaNdLiNg of the states COVID response…by the people who said COVID was bullshit
A friends kid has been seeing those commercials and told her mom recently “Amy Acton drinks drugs.”
So we’ve been having a laugh at that for a while.
Amy Acton eats foods. Amy Acton walks dogs. Amy Acton blinks too loud. Etc.
maga has always tried to make it seem like their views and policies are reasonable and both sides deserve equal weight. It’s a step on the way to critical thinking but they never reach it. The next step is analyze the outcomes and data and causes to come to an informed and accurate conclusion. The maga pointed at all the wrong stuff instead of the real blame, the tariffs and the war for all the higher prices. What a sick excuse to want more pollution for people in the areas near data centers and industrial areas. We deserve cleaner air, land and water, not worse, not regression. The maga way is unacceptable to healthy humanity. Do better!
Sounds like he had pre written talking points about fuel prices before the iran war started, and he was like fuck it I’m not going to change them!
Goes running to the principal when he starts to lose.
A total f’n loser, vote out the POS racist Russian supported MAGA shits!
I saw the clips of that on Internet Today last night. Jesus Christ what an embarrassment to the species. I’ve seen 5 year olds with better reasoning skills.
Was it the guy who thought being embarrassed was an infringement on his constitutional rights?
No idea, but that sounds like it could have been any one of a large number of those pathetic losers.

This website drives me crazy. If I open links in reader mode, they always show me a completely random article.
TNR is a shadow of its former self. Chewed up and spit out by one private interest after another going back to the Andrew Sullivan Era. Now it’s barely more than clickbait.
This guy is incumbent in Maryland?
I think it’s because the district he’s in was made via Democrats gerrymandering. But it’s a big, rural section on the Eastern Shore with a lot of farm land. Big Trump signs in their fields and painted on sides of barns. Though the state also voted in a Republican for governor so it’s got it’s quirks anyway.

Shortly after the debate, Harris, a staunch MAGA Republican who has avoided in-person town halls since 2023, tried to get a reporter arrested for recording his speech to a group of journalists.
Nothing in the article or subsequent links indicate that he actually managed this. The Twitter-link just has him making idle threats about referring a random person with a cell phone camera to a prosecutor. There was no follow-up to determine if a complaint was filed or a prosecutor contacted.
I do think it’s glaring to see a sitting Congressman outright admit intent to conspire with state prosecutors for a malicious misuse of power. But unless he followed through… No different than a guy standing in front of an ATM while announcing, “You owe me money and I’m going to break you open to get it”.
Threats are still threats.
Don’t like the blowback, maybe don’t threaten people all the time.
Who says there would be a record for you to check? You think he’s filing a police report? The victim would just be arrested later on some made up unrelated bullshit, their house will be ransacked, dogs shot, car impounded. Of course the charges will be dropped but he point is the same: This is what happens if you fuck with me.
Why the fuck would you say those threats are idle?
Everybody needs to see that second video, where he demands that only a specific reporter isn’t allowed to record him because it’s a two party state, and he doesn’t give HER permission, even though it’s a public forum, and there are a dozen other reporters recording. And then he demands an officer come over and arrest her for violating the two party recording law, before walking away, telling the other reporters to blame HER for not getting their uncomfortable questions answered.
What a coward, and a MAGA Traitor Pedophile.
In a room full of reporters, Andy expects to ride on the expectation of privacy? He doesn’t even have a fucking idea how that works.
I live in a two party consent state same as Maryland and the law only applies if you have an expectation of privacy. There is no expectation of privacy in a public place OR in a crowd of people.
That’s actually what I was about to ask. I was fairly certain that this was for the purposes of hidden recordings.
A crowd of people who are there for the sole purpose of RECORDING him!
Thank you for doing what this article failed to do and describing that Twitter-hosted video. Hopefully it’s uploaded to a better network.
The funniest thing was when the reporter handed her camera to another person and asked them to record for her. She technically wasn’t recording him.
Yeah, that was awesome. He thinks he’s getting one over on her, so she just says “Here you hold it” to her colleague, and then goes on asking her question, WHICH HE CLEARLY DIDN’T WANT TO ANSWER!
Hilarious.
he doesn’t give HER permission
Oh NOW you guys want to talk consent huh

This is a twitter safe link.
Wow, that is some MASSIVE sovcit energy 🤣
The nice part is that now, any journalist who comes into his proximity will know that it’s a good idea to memorize that section of Maryland state law, and specifically where it is not applicable (public forums), to quote at him, chapter and verse
Just a heads up, that site immediately started trying to get me to install malware, make sure you got protection
What did it do? I had no issues. Do you use an adblocker? Please explain.
I just switched to base Firefox so I must have something misconfigured.
Probably running ads from some service that doesn’t do enough oversight. (And enough isolation of the ad JavaScript, by the looks of it.)
Yeah, I didn’t try it in mobile either. I’ll see if I can’t make a video out of it myself.
Firefox on Android here, don’t see anything unusual
Oh my god, I cringed so hard I’m gonna need physical therapy. I wonder if he felt good about that encounter walking away.
Oh, No, he’s going to play this encounter over in his head every single day for the rest of his life. This was the incident that ended his political career.
These morons aren’t that self-aware. He’s going to think he was in the right to his dying day, and declare himself a victim over any negative consequences from it.
Conservatives are all cowards. I’ve never met one with values that withstood the slightest scrutiny. Their god is Money, their religion is Greed, and Bigotry is their gospel.
They like raping little kids too
Let’s not forget he insulted the reporter for not knowing the law.
“The facts are diesel prices have gone up. There’s no question about it. Why has it gone up? Because the Democrats have environmental regulations—” Harris tried to respond, only for audience members to groan, laugh, and shout at the Maryland first district congressman and chair of the right-wing House Freedom caucus.

What a F’ing snowflake.
Member of the party that wants to inspect genitals in a public bathroom believes he has a right to privacy in a public forum.
