A video posted online shows an encounter between a driver for Democratic U.S. Senate hopeful Elizabeth Warren and a campaign “tracker” for the Massachusetts Republican Party.
The 44-second video shows the driver confronting the Republican tracker after a Martha’s Vineyard weekend event. In the video, the driver appears to knock the camera from the tracker’s hands and tells him to “get out of my face,” adding, “you’re messing with the wrong people.”
Both campaigns use “trackers” to videotape rivals. Warren’s campaign said the person was a cab driver, not a staffer and that trackers are allowed to videotape public events. Massachusetts GOP executive director Nate Little called the incident “unacceptable.”
It’s not the first such confrontation. Another video posted online shows a Democratic tracker apparently forcibly removed from a public forum hosted by Republican U.S. Sen. Scott Brown in March.
