Confirmation of Rachael Rollins despite non-prosecution policies is 'putting ideology before people': Cotton
Fox News
Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton reacted Thursday to the confirmation of Boston district attorney Rachael Rollins to be the top federal prosecutor in Massachusetts on "Fox News Primetime."
Rollins was recently captured on video launching a verbal tirade at a media crew, threatening to have them arrested for asking her questions in public.
In the video from January 2021, Rollins accused journalists of risking the lives of her children after a reporter requested an interview near her home, video shows. The film crew for Fox-affiliate Boston 25 News asked Rollins if she would be willing to answer questions. Rollins became visibly upset and demanded to know how the reporters knew where she lived, to which they informed her it is a matter of public record.
"So as a Black woman, in this moment in this country, you're going to put my f---ing house on screen?" Rollins asked the reporter. At no point in the video is Rollins' house shown. "No, no, no, ma'am, we're just here approaching you to ask you a question," the reporter replied, according to the video.
