Democratic supporter Alan Ginsburg recently held a fundraiser at his Florida home for Vice President Joe Biden.

Orlando Sentinel reporter Scott Powers was assigned to cover the event, but he wasn’t allowed to mingle with guests.

To ensure the reporter didn’t wander, a Biden staffer put Powers in a tiny storage closet.

While guests munched on fancy snacks, Powers was only given a bottle of water.

Powers waited more than an hour. He would pop his head out but was told to go back inside. He mailed a photo of his ‘prison’ to his editor.

When Biden finally arrived to speak, Powers was let out. After Biden was finished, Powers was put back into the closet.

Powers, however, has it easy. At least he doesn’t have to follow Biden on the fund-raising trail.
