Michelle Fields, a video reporter for the Daily Caller, said she was stalked for three hours Friday while attempting to cover protests outside the Americans for Prosperity “Defending the American Dream Summit” at the Washington Convention Center.

Fields said she “did not feel comfortable, because at one point there were a whole group of men surrounding me saying, ‘F-Michelle Fields.’  And I went to a police officer and I told him that I felt these people were harassing me. And the police officer said he’d take care of it, but it never ended. These people were harassing me for the entire evening.”

One of the anti-capitalist “Occupy DC” protesters was evidently assigned to monitor Fields and her video camerawoman, following the Daily Caller crew to harass and heckle them. Fields said the protesters shouted “You’re worse than Fox” and “right-wing extremists,” called her “ugly” and made remarks about her clothing. When she attempted to conduct interviews, Fields said, “an individual would jump in front of the camera and stop the interview, or block it with a piece of paper or cardboard. . . . they talked to people who were part of Occupy DC and told them not to talk to us.”

"called her ugly"

Not the adjective I would use . . . .
