The person locked in the closet was held without will by someone who had no authority to confine anyone. That’s kidnapping.

Eh, so what. As other posters have pointed out, if Dick Cheney had done such a thing, we'd still be hearing about it to this day. Maybe the reporter will get a clue and report it as such.

I’m more curious about what they felt that they needed to hide from the reporter.

Well, in that case we can arrange for an extra large jail cell.

“half of the hold room was used for storage by the home’s owner and the other half was open space.


I wonder how they’d describe an outhouse? Half used for waste storage and the other half used for sitting down, corncobs and Sears Roebuck catalogs?

At least they didn’t give him a wedgie and hang him on a uniform hook.

"half of the hold room was used for storage by the home's owner and the other half was open space. A table and chair were set up for the reporter to allow him to file his story afterwards and work while he waited for the speaking program to begin."

and the MSM sees nothing wrong........I could just see Nixon’s staff stuffing a reporter in the closet and MSM not caring. The MSM is and always has been a Statist pile of crap.

He was confined for a period of time. What if he had to go to the bathroom, what would they have done?

I see they gave him a napkin to place his bottled water on-in the closet.

Heh... those are the risks that come with putting on that press pass!

This kidnapping deepens the mystery of the press’ infatuation with Obama. The record clearly shows nothing but contempt towards and mistreatment of reporters at every turn by his regime.

Why do they love him so much?

I have never seen that part of the first amendment that allows reporters to cover certain speech and to ensure that the reporter is shunted behind closed doors for that part of speech that someone does not want him to see.

I am disappointed that the reporter took it so well. Someone should be fired and a major lawsuit needs to be filed.

I think its funny because its a known fact that all the DBM are always on his side 24/7 and its just another typical Biden fiasco which he is so famous for to lock one of them up in a broom closet.
