On October 27, 2012, Rep. Allen West (R-FL) publicly called out and shamed a media tracker who followed him to a Vietnam Memorial service saying if the tracker has "any amount of respect" they'll turn off the camera and leave the event.

West says:

Let me stop for one minute. There's a person here that has been tracking me around and she is here for political purposes, and young lady I ask that you leave because you are disrespectful to the men and women who have given themselves to this great nation. We do not need- we do not care- for what you are presenting here. So if you have any amount of respect within you, I ask that you leave right now, turn off that camera, and stop using this for political purposes.

The crowd erupts into cheers and the tracker then leaves the service.
