Obama Interior Secretary Threatens To Punch A Reporter Out

KUSA-TV: COLORADO SPRINGS – Interior Secretary Ken Salazar was caught on tape threatening to hit a Colorado Springs Gazette reporter who questioned him about a government program while Salazar was at a campaign event for President Obama.

According to the Gazette, Philipps had been stymied for months in his attempts to reach Salazar through his press secretary to discuss the issue prior to approaching Salazar at a campaign event in Fountain. Salazar, a Democrat, served as a United States Senator from Colorado before joining the Obama administration.

Interior spokesman Blake Androff responded to a 9NEWS inquiry with a single sentence: “The Secretary regrets the exchange.”
