A Los Angeles Times reporter was forced to leave a southern Nevada caucus location Saturday after some Republican voters accused her of being a spy.
Reporter Ashley Powers said she was thrown out of a community center in suburban Sun City Anthem outside Las Vegas after a Republican volunteer mistakenly told the crowd of voters that members of the media didn't have permission to observe balloting.
Powers said the crowd of elderly voters then booed her. She said she was told security would be called if she didn't leave, so she left the room. When she later tried to re-enter, an elderly man grabbed her arm and pushed her.
Powers said Clark County GOP spokeswoman Bobbie Haseley called her to apologize for the misunderstanding.

I forgot, this is Sharron Angle country.

but the GOP house pigs threw him out of a relevant hearing, had him fucking arrested.
This is not a very healthy trend IMO.

(8,053 posts)and it doesn't matter how old and in the way one is: they have no authority or right to put their hands on anyone else for any reason. They aren't too old to learn the consequences of doing so. It just means that for years, they've gotten away with doing this to others. I hope the reporter files charges against him.
