Shocker - demons suppressing the 1st amendment.
It has been less than two weeks since former Vice President Joe Biden launched his 2020 bid, but numerous reporters have already voiced their concerns about the treatment they have received from his staff.
Freelance journalist Marcus DiPaola was covering the Biden campaign in Iowa last week where he tweeted the accounts of different reporters, including himself, of their interactions with campaign staffers, which he described to Fox News as "out of line, totally."
One unidentified reporter told DiPaola that while covering campaign events in Iowa, a member of Biden's campaign told the reporter to leave, with the campaign staffer saying she was just doing her job. She then took a photo of the reporter who refused to leave.
Another reporter alleged a Biden staffer "physically put their body" between the reporter and the 2020 frontrunner despite not being that close to the candidate
"This second reporter tells me the staffer physically invaded their space to the point that the reporter could smell the staffer's ponytail," DiPaola tweeted.
A third reporter shared a similar experience, telling DiPaola that a female staffer physically blocked the reporter from Biden with her body and "blocked his camera shot by putting up her hands."
The three reporters who spoke with DiPaola declined to comment to Fox News. The Biden campaign did not respond to requests for comment.
Later on, DiPaola said he and other reporters were approached by members of Biden's team while they were staking out an exit on a public lot during a campaign stop, saying they had to leave and couldn't ask questions.
"If you want a secure exit for a candidate, you buy a venue where you can get in and out of the car while you're on private property. But when you're on public property, you have no expectation of privacy or ability to restrict my movement," DiPaola told Fox News.
