    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.

      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.

      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.

      Thank you for doing what this article failed to do and describing that Twitter-hosted video. Hopefully it’s uploaded to a better network.

        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

      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.

      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.

      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.
