Sen. Menendez threatens to call police on reporter who asked about Green New Deal
American Thinker ^ | 02/14/2019 | Rick Moran

Posted on 02/14/2019 7:52:55 AM PST by SeekAndFind

A reporter for the Daily Caller found Democratic Senator Robert Menendez at a Capitol Hill subway stop and asked him what he thought about Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's Green New Deal.

Democrats have been screaming for two years about Donald Trump's "war on the press." But Trump's got nothing on Menendez when it comes to going to war.

Fox News:

Menendez avoided the question and asked where Rodgers worked. Rodgers said that when he told Menendez he worked for the Daily Caller, the Democrat responded by saying he would not answer any questions. An intern who was with Rodgers asked a follow-up question, and tensions apparently rose.

“Not interested. I have nothing to say to the Daily Caller. You're trash. I won't answer questions to the Daily Caller, period! You're trash! Don't keep harassing me or I'll call Capitol Police!,” Sen. Bob Menendez told me earlier today when I asked about the Green New Deal...— Henry Rodgers (@henryrodgersdc) February 13, 2019

You can hardly blame Menendez for trying to wriggle away. Expect to see this reaction from many Democrats whenever they're asked their opinion of the Green New Deal. Between now and election day 2020, the GOP will be talking cow flatulence and the elimination of the airline industry to prove just how radical the Democratic party is. 

But threatening to call the police on a reporter? I don't believe even our media-hating president has ever done that.

The media .. all of them ... went nuts when Trump said Jim Acosta had to check in everyday with security before he could ask questions. But in this case ... ?

The power structure of the Dem party is in a panic. And it’s just starting. Socialists don’t back off.

The real question to ask - Has Menendez invited AOC to any of his “private” island parties or is she too old?

And here's several more lawless Democrap "beauties"....

SEN SCHUMER ON RECORD AS AIDING AND ABETTING FELONIES "When people are living in undocumented status, there are times, I suppose, when they've made up identities, made up Social Security numbers," Schumer told his Judiciary Committee colleagues. "How are they going to remember all that, and are we going to delay RPI status? "(The) purpose of the amnesty bill is to bring people out of the shadows. We all know when they lived in the shadows, they had to forge documents, forge Social Security numbers, et cetera. I just don't see how, when you've lived here 10 years, and you've had many different identities, many different numbers, you're going to remember them all," said Schumer. (Senate Judiciary committee defeated Grassley's amnesty amendment to keep ID fraud criminalized....... 8 to 10 on a Democrat party-line vote).

================================

Then-cong Gutierrez led the charge for immigration reform....he extorted taxpayers for big bucks. Accuracy in Media reports that the immigration “reform” bill included two “slush funds” amounting to $150,000,000 that may be supplemented with additional taxpayer dollars for years to come. These funds would go to “public or private, non-profit organizations such as La Raza, Casa de Maryland, and the American Immigration lawyers Association! .....organizations devoted to helping illegal immigrants apply for legal status.

Bingo. Yes! You get it! AOC and her supporters are the Bolsheviks. They have seized control of the party and they AREN'T going to let go. And you're right, that is just beginning to dawn on Nancy, Chuck, the Clinton Machine & Co. Those folks all spout far-Left rhetoric, but the AOC young guns really BELIEVE it.

It’s OK for rabid Repub haters to harass people eating dinner at a restaurant or even at their home.

But a reporter just asking a simple question?

He’s going to call the cops?

If you understand that the msm is 99.99% Left Wing Democrats and they are corrupt, you will put their hypocrisy in perspective.

I would be more impressed if Sen. Menendez called the police to arrest Mueller and his entire team for national security clearance violations with respect to the motion Stone’s attorney made yesterday. In that motion it was stated the act of unsealing the indictment occurred approximately 8:30 am; CNN was on site to greet the arresting agents before 6 am; CNNs attorney sent Stone’s attorney a copy of the sealed indictment without the SECRET classification prominent.

This is what they call prima fascia evidence, it’s on the face of the documents admitted to the court. Leaking to CNN is a felony. Not reporting the leak is a felony. Sending secret documents to unsecured parties is a felony.

Why doesn’t the President send US Marshals to gather Mueller and his team for a trip to Gitmo to sort it all out?

I think you understated it a little bit.

I really don’t like the new America. The hypocrisy is knee deep wherever you walk. As stated so well by——

Kurt Schlichter in Town Hall (The Left Hates Use—Act Accordingly)
They are fanatics, and by not surrendering, by not kneeling, and by not obeying, you have committed an unpardonable sin. You have defied the Left, and you must be broken. They will take your job, slander your name, even beat or kill you – whatever it takes to break you and terrify others by making you an example. Your defiance cannot stand; they cannot allow this whole Trump/GOP majority thing to get out of control. They must crush this rebellion of the normal, and absolutely nothing is off the table.
