15. I disagree about the reporter. He had an opinion and he kept pressing it. She just wouldn't let him.

He was clearly trying to head off her criticism of ICE. That's not the job of a reporter. A reporter is not there to tell us what he thinks. He's there to gather facts and report them, and to interview people. And if he's going to interview someone, it isn't his job to try to mold their reaction to whatever event he's reporting on.
