A campaign staffer for Roy Moore physically confronted a cameraman outside of a rally for the Alabama GOP Senate candidate on Monday night.

A clip shows a man later identified as Tony Goolsby, Moore's DeKalb County coordinator, approaching a cameraman and grabbing onto the camera before he was pulled back.

Connor Sheets, a reporter for The Birmingham News, tweeted a video of the encounter.

“Man wearing Roy Moore sticker physically attacked a cameraman attempting to film Moore's arrival outside campaign rally a few minutes ago here in Henagar, Alabama. Another man w/ Moore sticker verbally assaulted a second cameraman,” Sheets wrote.

I saw the video. He was just pushing the cameraman back to give them some space. Much ado about nothing.

Cry baby press.

Yawn.

If they couldn't get that one guy in Montana to lose, I don't even get why they think anyone would care about this minor nothing-burger of an "incident."

[Robert DeLong]

Gee where have we seen this kind of reporting before? Oh yeah, I remember now. When Donald Trump’s campaign manager pulled a reporter to the ground. Only she hardly even flinched. 8>)

[RoosterRedux]

Goolsby? Where have I heard that name before?

Generally, assaulting a member of the mainstream media is good for a +2 or 3 point bounce in the polls.

[tennmountainman]

Exactly. He did not attack the camera man, just pushed him back to clear
space.

This is a nothing burger.

Connor Sheets is a turncoat.

Check my bio page to see why al.com is out to harm Judge Roy Moore.

[Bodleian_Girl]

The Birmingham News (al.com) has been on a rampage against Judge Roy Moore for many years, especially since their alleged lesbian editor took over as the main editor for the 3 largest newspapers in the state of Alabama and Judge Moore came out against sodomite marriage.

(I've met her and she is VERY butch.)

Kyle Whitmire is an effete "columnist" there (though he's married) and he's written with more vitriol against Judge Moore than anyone, with the possible exception of John "I forgot I declared bankruptcy and I've got a gay brother" Archibald.

They hate Judge Moore and they have made it clear that they do.

Their jobs are also dependent on pleasing their editor. Those 3 papers are owned by Advance and they have laid off over 40% of their employees in the past few years and now only print 3 days a week.

So you have lesbians and leftists calling the shots and maybe a couple of people who are afraid to speak out in fear of losing their jobs.

But this is a hate campaign of the highest order.

he pushed the camera back out of his face.... this is bull crap... wuzzy entrapping reporter... trying to get a response

[Robert DeLong]

Yeah, but this is from The Hill. I have seen what you posted. Thanks.

Probably thinking of Austan Goolsbee, a lib economist who’s a talking head on Fox often.

The man says “follow orders, go now”

Looks like the press did not bother to show the prior discussion before he pushed them back.

He and others then position themselves to maintain the clear space.

Presumably for the candidates arrival.

[Pikachu_Dad]

Can’t quite make out what he Lady and the other guy are saying to the press to get them to move back.

“Leigh Corfman, Roy Moore Accuser, retained a law firm, before WP obtained their “scoop”. The firm is headed by Edgar Gentle who happens to also be the Treasurer for the Alabama Democrat Party. 100% political hit job. There’s your answer who gave them “victims”.

We need more of it.

‘I saw the video. He was just pushing the cameraman back to give them some space. Much ado about nothing. ‘

He did exactly what any normal person would do when they feel that they need some space.

these cameramen have to learn how to flop like soccer players
