Biden complains after dust-up with reporter
TheHill ^ | 10/25/11 | Alexander Bolton

Joe Biden’s office has complained to the Senate press gallery about a confrontation the vice president had with a conservative journalist last week on Capitol Hill.

Biden aides asked whether Senate rules were broken in the wake of the contentious exchange between the vice president and the reporter.

Jason Mattera, who works for Human Events, a conservative magazine, used a pretext to catch Biden off guard in a Senate hallway and grill him on claims the vice president has made about jobs legislation.

Biden’s office has also contacted the standing committee of correspondents, which oversees the gallery, regarding whether Mattera broke the rules by ambushing him.

Heather Rothman, the chairwoman of the gallery’s standing committee, said the matter is under review.

Biden lies to cover up an unsubstantiated (patently false) claim, but it’s the interviewer’s fault?

I hear ya, Joe.

Biden 2016 is off the rails before it even got going.

LOL

If this is a violation, then the reporter should face whatever consequences are applicable. But, this works both ways. Why was the reporter unwilling/unable to challenge Biden on his 'rape' remarks in a legitimate setting?

Biden loves to act tough. He’s a whimp. In fact, didn’t he say he got his ass kicked a lot growing up? Must have been his smart mouth.

Whaaaaaaa! Idiot clown Joe can dish it out but cries like a little spoiled brat when questioned.

People should laugh at his petulance.

Politicians need to remember that they work for us, not the other way around! Any American has the right to ask any elected politician a question about their policies, statements, deeds or other media.

Biden is just mad that someone got him on tape being what he is. A bully, a loudmouth, a liar and a moron.
