🚨Unreal: Republican Rep

You talked about your First Amendment rights when someone in the audience was interrupting you but after that you threatened a student journalist with prosecution for recording you while asking questions What happened during that moment and do you regret how you handled that interaction? look, the bottom line is it's it's not very newsworthy that the liberal media badgers a conservative politician What was newsworthy is that I actually pushed back against it She was not asking questions She actually started by criticizing the way that press gaggle was being conducted That's not the role of a journalist and what I did in the end is just say look, this is all done and just left Well, Congressman, that's not exactly all you did though. You threatened to to bring in the police and you threatened to have her prosecuted for recording you And, and you you falsely claimed that there was a need for a two-party consent when that wasn't the case Oh, there is clearly a need for two-party consent but it would have applied to everyone That's why, in the end I just left everyone and their cameras And left the room Do you believe you owe that student journalist an apology for how you treated her? you know, if, if, if she called me and asked I would I would tell her what bothered me What bothered me is that she didn't ask a question. She criticized the way I was conducting the news conference. She's a journalism student I think she should realize that's not really your your purpose. That's not your purpose to attempt to run a press conference And yeah, I think we'd talk it over Do you think that it is your purpose to tell a reporter how to do their job? no she was telling me how to do my job That's not, that's not what a she was telling me how to conduct the press conference Again, pushing back against the liberal media badgering a conservative politician is really what's newsworthy here because they've been doing it liberal media's been doing this for years Nobody pushes back I pushed back. Liberal media got offended Do you think that the liberal media got offended because she was pushing back or do you think that people covered a newsworthy event between a sitting congressman and a student journalist? Well, look, I I was there to answer questions the liberal media was not there to answer questions. The liberal audience was there to heckle and to cause trouble and the liberal media just followed right up on that afterwards. All right Congressman Harris thank you so much for joining us I appreciate it Thank you
