Current TV contributor and BuzzFeed correspondent Michael Hastings plays an exclusive audio recording of a confrontation he had with Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel in the midst of covering President Obama’s 2012 re-election campaign. Hastings says that Emanuel, who was angry at Hastings for his coverage of Gen. Stanley McChrystal for “Rolling Stone,” grabbed Hastings by the arm. Hastings says, “Look, I don’t mind being yelled at … but I think the mayor clearly crossed the line by grabbing me. I’ve interviewed terrorist leaders. I’ve interviewed dictators. I’ve interviewed a lot of politicians. I’ve interviewed a lot of angry people, but none of them has ever laid a hand on me.”
