In what looks to have been a final extended finger to the citizen media site The Uptake, a Coleman staffer ejected the Uptake Noah Kunin from the the press conference at which he conceded to Franken. Brauer reports, with some sharp words for Coleman: “I didn’t instantly recognize him — he was emotional,” Kunin says of Erickson. “He said something about my cutesy homemade press pass. The one I was wearing was issued by the Minnesota Capitol. It says PRESS in big black letters. It’s also a magnetic key card that lets me get into the Capitol after it closes to the public. I also had a red name tag badge specific to the Capitol press corps, issued by the Sergeant at Arms.”
