In April 2012 St. Louis News 4’s Larry Conners grilled President Barack Obama on his extravagant vacation schedule and on bullying the Supreme Court.
“The economy is a big concern for folks, I mean the unemployment, trying to make ends meet, gas prices, food prices going up. Some of our viewers are complaining that they get frustrated and angered when they see the first family jetting around different vacations and so forth…”
It was one of the few hard-hitting interviews the president sat through last year.
On Tuesday Larry Connors revealed that after his interview with Barack Obama the IRS targeted him. He posted this on his Facebook page.
On Thursday Larry Connors was taken off the air until further notice.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported:
Longtime KMOV (Channel 4) anchorman Larry Conners is “off the air” until further notice.
The station is examining Conners’ recent allegations that he was targeted by the Internal Revenue Service after interviewing President Barack Obama.
“He’s not suspended. We just all thought it made sense (for him) to take a few days off,” news director Sean McLaughlin said Thursday.
“We take this very seriously, and we don’t expect this to drag on. We’re still looking into the situation and weighing our options,” he said.
The situation arose Monday night with a post from Conners on his Facebook page. In that post, Conners said he had been getting “pressure” from the IRS after the Obama interview in April 2012.
The Facebook post begins: “I don’t accept ‘conspiracy theories,’ but I do know that almost immediately after the interview, the IRS started hammering me.”
In conclusion, Conners wrote: “Can I prove it? At this time, no. But it is a fact that since that April 2012 interview … the IRS has been pressuring me.”
This is outrageous.
