House Republican tells reporter to ‘shut up’ for asking Johnson about overturning 2020 election

Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.) was among a group of Republican lawmakers who shouted at a reporter who asked Vice Conference Chair and Speaker nominee Mike Johnson (R-La.) about his involvement in attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.
ABC News reporter Rachel Scott was attempting to ask Johnson about his stance on the issue during a press conference Tuesday evening, after he became the latest Speaker nominee.
Johnson was surrounded by various members of the House GOP, who began to laugh and shout as Scott was asking her question. Foxx, one of the members near Johnson, yelled “shut up.”
Foxx has been known for frequently scolding reporters and staff for being on or near members-only elevators in Capitol buildings. She recently told a group of reporters to “get away from the damned elevator.”
In the video, captured by C-SPAN, Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) said “oh god” in response to the question. House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) laughed.
Many other members booed Scott for her inquiry.
Johnson smiled, shook his head and said “next question.”
I guess this is where the Democrats on here get it from. The reporters have one-track minds, or at least they pretend they do to avoid any questions about real issues that the American people care about. ABC is a licensed network. Licensed on the agreement that they will act in the public interest, which means reporting real news, not playing shill for the DNC 24/7.
"Shut up." I like it.
That will be my shorthand response to anyone who tries to derail a conversation by obsessing over their own obsession.
Gosh, I hope no one is offended . . .
