Biden staff apologizes for "kidnapping" and "detaining" reporter in closet

No, this was not the reporter in the story

Vice President Joe Biden's communication team had to make an unusual apology last week for forcing a reporter to stay in closet.

During a fundraiser at the Florida home of Alan Ginsburg, Biden's staff escorted Orlando Sentinel reporter Scott Powers to a closet and asked him to stay there.

"Turns out the veep hadn’t arrived, but about 150 guests (minimum donation $500) were already in the house," according to the Sentinel. "So to prevent Scott from mingling with the crowd, a member of Biden’s advance team consigned him to a storage closet -- and then stood outside the door to make sure he didn’t walk out without permission."
