Idiot. When you threaten the press, you do it off camera!
My favourite part is that he later released a statement congratulating himself for "telling off" the reporter for having the nerve to question him.
"I was extremely annoyed because I was doing NY1 a favour by rushing to do their interview first in lieu of several other requests. The reporter knew that I was in a hurry and was only there to comment on the State of the Union, but insisted on taking a disrespectful and cheap shot at the end of the interview, because I did not have time to speak off-topic. I verbally took the reporter to task and told him off, because I expect a certain level of professionalism and respect, especially when I go out of my way to do that reporter a favour. I doubt that I am the first Member of Congress to tell off a reporter, and I am sure I won’t be the last."
