What a prize.
Via BPR:
A Florida Democratic state senator called in the police to handle a reporter who made “threats” against her at a debate.
Miami Herald reporter Sarah Blaskey declared that the only thing she was guilty of committing was “an act of journalism” after she questioned Florida state Sen. Daphne Campbell following a public candidates forum at a Duffy’s in North Miami Beach.
According to the Miami Herald:
Campbell, a Democrat who is running for reelection this month in Senate District 38, called police at 1:24 p.m. after participating in a debate with her Democratic opponent, Jason Pizzo. A responding North Miami Beach officer who declined to give his name explained that police had been called by Campbell about threats made by a woman in a floral dress — a clear reference to the attire of Herald reporter Sarah Blaskey.
Police left without arresting anyone. But their appearance flustered attendees and the Social Citizens of Southeast Florida, which hosted the event in order to allow members to query the candidates on the issues.
