Politico reporter hangs up on me
I called Politico "reporter" Andy Barr (right) to ask why he would write an article about my work and then not call me to give me a chance to respond to the accusation that I orchestrated a "smear job." against Bauer.Barr's response, "If you don't know what I am talking about then we are done" and he then hung up the phone on me.
I don't know what Barr's hidden agenda is, but he surely has one.
From the article.
The timing of this smear campaign is obviously not a coincidence. Last week, Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer called on Governor Mark Sanford to resign, and last weekend, the House Republican Caucus decided almost unanimously to move forward to ask Gov. Sanford resign from office, under threat of impeachment,” Knotts, who is a close ally of Bauer, wrote in the letter.
“This attack was orchestrated on behalf of Mark Sanford, either directly or indirectly, and financially subsidized by him or one of his many ‘front-groups,’” he wrote.
