NEWS: While @StatusCoup covered @PeteButtigieg NH rally earlier that WE HAD MEDIA CREDENTIALS FOR, a Buttigieg staffer went up to my cameraman @cinematicjones—an African American—& pulled his name tag off before saying:
"I don't think you're supposed to have credentials.”pic.twitter.com/A4vGKvIOx5

That staffer was the one who ripped
@cinematicjones's name tag off (which we got when we signed in). B4 that, we were followed by@PeteButtigieg staffer outside as we interviewed people on line. As soon as we walked inside, a staffer came up to me asking if "we snuck in."pic.twitter.com/jSRvSsuM8b37 replies 612 retweets 1,862 likesShow this thread -

This was staffer following us UP/DOWN line to get in as we interviewed people. Interviews were unremarkable--zero tensions or incidents (maybe one uncomfortable person that I asked his policies/accomplishments). When I said to her "you're not being subtle" she responded "I know."pic.twitter.com/RsVctlWtdc

Here is
@cinematicjones, my freelance cameraman who was just doing his job when a@PeteButtigieg staffer came up to him, touched his jacket, yanked his name tag off (which we were given when we SIGNED IN AT PRESS DESK).pic.twitter.com/tAhoDUI4Yh103 replies 1,523 retweets 3,825 likesShow this thread -
That's because you're not a real journalist and on par with a blogger.

That's an interesting response to a Buttigieg campaign ripping my cameraman's credentials off his jacket (that they gave us). You get the oppression you tolerate.
