A "pathetic minion"?
What is pathetic is that you tried to intimidate me in The Hill green room and condescendingly called me "dear" on the phone. Is that how you treat all female reporters? Or just the ones you don't like?

Oh, and the offer of xanax and wine. Definitely not sexist. Not at all.
I usually don't talk about things that happen in green rooms, but I figure it is fair game now. I was sitting down and looking at my phone, and Rick starts pacing back and forth before stopping in front of me. He had a complete meltdown and yelled at me for a months-old story.
I tried to defuse the situation by asking for his number so I can reach out to him quickly for future stories. He seemed to calm down and gave me his number and I apologized if he thought I was unfair in any of my reporting (which I don't think I was).
Months later and he tweets out a conversation of me asking for comment (again, politely) and makes sexist comments and calls me name. This is actually unacceptable.
Again, not sexist!
