Channel 2 Hired Armed Security for a Peaceful Protest in North Buffalo

A WGRZ-TV photojournalist and an armed security guard were chased out of Friday’s protest in North Buffalo after demonstrators noticed the security guard was carrying a gun.

 

Security details are not a standard practice in newsrooms around WNY. So why would Channel 2, who claims to be “On Your Side”, feel the need to hire an armed security detail for its employees covering a peaceful protest?

Oh right, systemic racism…

Channel 2 needs to publicly apologize and be held accountable for this serious and ethical lapse in judgment.

‘I know I’m a woman’: Dem scolds Trump Treasury secretary over his interruptions



Rep. Linda Sanchez (D-CA) scolded Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent for repeatedly interrupting her at a House hearing.

During his Wednesday testimony before the House Ways and Means Committee, Sanchez instructed Bessent to restrict his answers to yes or no.

"Mr. Secretary, do you still believe that the president's tariffs are going to be a one-time price adjustment for American families?" she asked.

"If prices go up, they will be one time," Bessent stated.

"Okay, well, unfortunately, you appear to be talking out of both sides of your mouth because you yourself have admitted, after conversations with Walmart, that some tariff costs are going to get passed on to consumers. And in fact, we've already seen that prices are rising on many everyday goods," Sanchez remarked.

"No, Congresswoman, today we had a point one increase..." Bessent interrupted.

"The time is mine," Sanchez fired back. "The time is mine. Please don't interrupt me. I will ask you questions and I will grant you an opportunity to answer them."

"But please don't interrupt me during my time," she continued. "Okay, I know I'm a woman, but please try to limit yourself to answering my questions."

Sanchez then responded to others in the room who were groaning at her complaints.

"No, I'm sorry, but we get talked over all the time, and I don't want that to happen at this hearing," she insisted.

"I would remind members, the gentlelady is recognized," Chairman Adam Smith (R-NE) pointed out.

"Thank you," Sanchez said. "The time is mine. Clothing is going up 20%. Shoe prices in canned goods like chicken noodle soup and canned fruit and microwave meals have gone up 15%. Toys are getting more expensive. Walmart just raised the prices of dinosaur action figures."

"On average, Trump's tariffs are estimated to cost households $3,000 more for the same goods than they would have last year," she added.

"That's incorrect," Bessent interrupted again.

"The best estimates are that consumers will pay $3,000 more for the same goods," Sanchez said. "And that estimate is from what they did last year."
