Freedom Caucus Chair Andy Harris freaked out about being recorded in a press scrum after his candidate forum last night on the Eastern Shore
After being asked about the Iran war, Harris demanded that a reporter be removed, calling on officers to interject. He erroneously invoked Maryland's two-party consent law, which holds that all parties to a private conversation generally must give permission before it may be recorded.
Harris’ argument happened in front of a crowd of other media, all recording with phones, cameras or audio devices. When multiple people chimed in to tell Harris that it was a public setting, he said, “Do you know the law?”
Harris insisted: "I know the law well."
