Stabenow: "No one must know how truly stupid I am.."
Apparently, Debbie Stabenow needs to have properly filtered outlets for election season.
Events open to the general public need not have any critical viewpoints present. Yesterday her team had a man tossed by police for simply witnessing the ‘Auburn Goddess’ demonstrate her Oratory excellence.
United States Senator Debbie Stabenow had a tracker for the independent watchdog group ‘America Rising’ forcibly removed from a public press conference she was holding at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit. The tracker was not asking questions or causing a disturbance. He was simply attempting to film the Senator’s remarks on prescription drugs. The event was open to the general public and he was thrown out simply for working for a group that the Senator does not like.
When asked for comment Michigan Republican Party Deputy Chief of Staff Sarah Anderson said the following: “A public servant such as Senator Stabenow should have nothing to hide when it comes to her remarks. Tactics such as these have no place in a free society and are unbecoming of a U.S. Senator. Debbie Stabenow needs to apologize immediately.”

This also made MIRS & Town Hall (but strangely not The News or Freep).
What I'd like to know is exactly who is America Rising and exactly what happened before he was cuffed and escorted out of the building.
Detroit Cops can be a little high-strung at times, I know this because I've dealt with them on more than a few occasions, but not to the point where they are begging to get sued.
What is really sad, is that the Detroit cops are spread out enough without the meat puppet using them for her personal enforcers while she is in the big D
America Rising BTW
Playing Devil's Advocate, I can understand their presence.
Team "d" isn't exactly running on all eight cylinders.
A few of the, ahem, more "proactive" members might not bother waiting until November to see her go...permanently.
It still doesn't excuse in any way physically removing someone with nothing more than a camera.
