Maybe the President should invite more journalists who want to pick a fight with him to the White House, because this afternoon, as he was discussing his administration’s new shift in immigration policy, President Obama went after a Daily Caller journalist who had interrupted him. And he showed a bit of fight in him that has been rarely seen the past few years. Here was the President’s response:
According the several accounts just published, the reporter in question is Neil Munro of The Daily Caller. Here is what ABC News reported:
The man, later identified as Neil Munro of The Daily Caller, asked the president several times “why do you favor foreigners over American workers?”
“Not while I’m speaking,” the president responded angrily. “Let me finish.”
While reporters were present at the Rose Garden announcement, the president was not expected to take questions.
Asked afterwards who he was, Munro said “I’m just a reporter asking questions you should be asking.”
In the meantime, the Daily Caller’s Twitter profile tweeted pride and support for Munro’s actions:
We are very proud of, @NeilMunroDC for doing his job
