Reporter: Biden Campaign Physically Blocking Press from Asking Questions

A freelance reporter covering Joe Biden's presidential campaign launch says the campaign has gotten physical in its attempts to block the press from questioning the former vice president.

Marcus DiPaola, a videographer who was on the trail with Biden Wednesday night in Iowa, used his Twitter account to voice complaints from multiple members of the press regarding poor treatment from campaign staff, which was reportedly blocking reporters from asking questions and taking photographs of anyone who objected.

"A reporter approached @JoeBiden to ask a question and a member of his staff told the reporter to leave, and when the reporter explained that they were just doing their job, the staffer said she was too," DiPaola wrote. "The staffer then took a photo of the reporter."

His initial tweet was followed by other similar anecdotes from the trail.

I apologize to the "Get Off My lawn Wing" this is from 3 day ago.

Also another story that further illustrates how Biden operates:

"Biden Team Apologizes to Reporter for Sticking Him In Closet"

"Scott – You have our sincere apologies for the lack of a better hold room today," wrote Vice President Biden spokeswoman Elizabeth Alexander last Wednesday to Orlando Sentinel reporter Scott Powers. "Lack of a better hold room" is an interesting way of putting it. In order to keep Powers from mingling with guests at a Democratic fundraiser last Wednesday, Powers was escorted into a storage closet by a Biden staffer."

LOL

You get better treatment from Mistress Helga’s House of Pain in Manhattan :)

What a farce. What a bunch of clowns running on the D ticket.

Perverts and deviants and bullies and psychos and fruits and on and on and on.

It’s not an election. It’s a circus.

Good Grief.

Remember the rope lines to keep the press away from Hitlery? And the press went along with it like good little DNC propagandists.

Exactly. He can’t even read a speech without botching it up as he demonstrated recently. I can hardly wait to see this crowd on stage in their “debates”.

One reporter was able to sneak through the barricades.

He asked Joe how many more campaign stops he planned to make.

Joe replied, “Campaign stops? Am I running for something?”

Joe can not be trusted out and about by himself. He needs adult supervision. Hillary’s campaign ended on 911 it was over for her. She ran out of body on 911. It was a tactical TKO on 911. Joe’s campaign will end way before 911.

No problem. Creepy Uncle Joe will get the questions in advance so he is well prepared.

Watched the last time he was asked a question by reporter, he looked straight ahead and it seemed as though he was trying to get his brain to respond

I’m waiting for the day Creepy Joe collapses Hillary style while being ushered into his campaign van.With Creepy Joe the Secret Service will not know whether his hands on their shoulders signifies he is in collapse mode or he is feeling amorous. At least with Hillary there would be no doubt she was headed southbound. lol

Gee, that is a problem.

Anyone remember when Hillary had her staff put a rope around a group of reporters? Hard to understand the MSM's loyalty to democrats...

Joe is looking like a well kept grave. He looks ...waxy. Like a corpse in a casket.
