康涅狄格州州长拉蒙特竞选活动上推开记者手机:追问顾问交通罚单引冲突,记者称不太可能提告

康涅狄格州州长 Ned Lamont 10月31日上午在费尔菲尔德县斯坦福德市(Stamford)斯卡尔齐公园的一场竞选活动中,推开了正在拍摄的记者的手机,事件在随后两日持续发酵。
据报道,自称地方保守派媒体记者的 Jackie Homan 当时正在拍摄,并追问拉蒙特的顾问 Rob Blanchard 两周前收到的一张交通罚单:Blanchard 被指在施工区没有服从指挥交通的警员,事件中无人受伤。Homan 11月1日表示,她不太可能就此事寻求刑事指控。
拉蒙特的竞选对手 Fazio 的竞选团队则指称,州长的行为构成康涅狄格州法律下的C级轻罪,但目前没有提出任何指控。Blanchard 本人是州参议院一个战场选区的民主党候选人,同时担任拉蒙特的顾问。
Homan 所在的媒体表示并未与她协调此次提问。选举日为11月3日,这起插曲发生在选前最后周末的竞选活动中。

Connecticut Governor Lamont Swats Reporter's Phone at Campaign Event; Reporter Unlikely to Seek Charges
Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont swatted away a reporter's phone during a campaign event on the morning of October 31 at Scalzi Park in Stamford, Fairfield County, an incident that continued to draw attention over the following two days.
Jackie Homan, who identified herself as a reporter for a local conservative outlet, had been filming and asked about a traffic citation issued two weeks earlier to Lamont adviser Rob Blanchard, who was cited for failing to obey an officer directing traffic in a construction zone; no one was injured. Homan said on November 1 that she is unlikely to seek criminal charges over the incident.
The campaign of Lamont's opponent, Ryan Fazio, alleged that the governor's conduct amounts to a Class C misdemeanor under Connecticut law, but no charge has been filed. Blanchard is himself the Democratic candidate in a battleground state Senate district while also serving as a Lamont adviser.
Homan's outlet said it did not coordinate the questioning with her. The episode came during campaigning on the final weekend before the November 3 election.
