“Interior Secretary Ken Salazar threatened to punch a reporter on a recent trip to Colorado, according to witnesses. Salazar took two questions from Dave Philipps, a reporter from the Colorado Springs Gazette, before disagreeing with his line of questioning. ‘Don’t you ever … You know what, you do that again… I’ll punch you out,’ Salazar reportedly told Philipps before ending the interview and walking off. The alleged incident took place when Salazar was in Colorado on Election Day, on behalf of the Obama campaign. ‘The secretary regrets the exchange,’ Interior spokesman Blake Androff told POLITICO.”
