ATTORNEY GENERAL ERIC HOLDER'S GOON SQUAD PREVENTING FIRST AMENDMENT AND MRC REPORTER: ‘THEY GONNA BE NICE TO YOU, I’M NOT’

Joe Schoffstall, a reporter for the Media Research Center, was rebuffed by Attorney General Eric Holder’s security detail yesterday after Holder met with the Justice Department lawyers in charge of enforcing federal election laws.


After Schoffstall stops backing up, having protested several times that he’s on public property, the guard says just inches from the reporter’s face: “It’s not a public sidewalk now, now [you're] standing on federal government property.”

“You’re pushing me back onto federal government property,” Schoffstall responds with irritation.  “This is a public sidewalk, I can ask him a question.”
