He writes for a right winged website called The Daily Caller. And today, while President Obama was giving a speech about his immigration policy at the Rose Garden, this person named Neil Munro couldn’t wait for the President to finish. His question was apparently more important than what the President had to say, so Mr. Munro decided that the appropriate time to shout at the president was in the middle of his speech.
An annoyed President scolded the so-called reporter, telling him to wait until it was time to ask questions.
“No, you have to take questions,” Munro responded, according to a White House transcript of the exchange.
Obama shot back, “Not while I’m speaking!”
Of course this obvious show of disrespect for this particular President will earn Mr. Munro high ranks among his fellow Republicans and the conservative media. He might even be awarded a raise by his employer and a medal by Congressional Republicans.
After his interruption of the President, Mr. Munro issued a statement on The Daily Caller, saying;
“I always go to the White House prepared with questions for our president. I timed the question believing the president was closing his remarks, because naturally I have no intention of interrupting the President of the United States. I know he rarely takes questions before walking away from the podium. When I asked the question as he finished his speech, he turned his back on the many reporters, and walked away while I and at least one other reporter asked questions.”
His boss also expressed support for Munro, “a good reporter gets the story. We’re proud of Neil Munro.”
LOL
What do you have against dogs?! 😉
I wouldn't go that far. But at the very least he should be removed from the White House assignment and relegated to covering dog shows. It will be up to the White House to do that though since Tucker is licking his lips at the whole thing.

Heckling any President while giving a speech – not a question and answer session – should be a crime punishable by jail, at the very least.

His boss is crybaby Tucker Carleson who can't get anyone, not even fellow Conservatives to pay attention to him. This was a stunt to get people to talk about The Daily Caller.
