Overview
- Semafor reported that security escorted Atlantic reporter Elaine Godfrey from a Crockett rally in Texas after she began asking questions, despite being registered to attend.
- Crockett’s campaign denied that Godfrey was removed and did not directly respond to Semafor’s detailed questions.
- Earlier this month, the campaign contacted the Capitol Police about CNN reporter Edward-Isaac Dovere over a possible trespass at a campaign office, according to Semafor.
- Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg called the treatment of reporters completely unacceptable and urged that it be addressed immediately.
- The confrontations are unfolding as Crockett competes with state Rep. James Talarico in a closely watched Democratic Senate primary with early voting underway.
