LISTEN: Laslo & Blunt Rochester
Ask a Pol asks:
Where are you on SAFER Banking Act?
Key Blunt Rochester:
“Do you mind if I just follow up with you over email,” an annoyingly worthless aide interjects, cutting off her boss, Sen. Lisa Blunt Rochester.

Caught our eye:
Senator Blunt Rochester is cut off from speaking by her aide.
Below find a rough transcript of Ask a Pol’s exclusive interview with Sen. Lisa Blunt Rochester (D-DE), slightly edited for clarity.
TRANSCRIPT: Sen. Lisa Blunt Rochester
SCENE: After Delaware voters sent her to the US Senate in the 119th Congress, Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester still had to show up for votes in the US House.
On her way to one of those votes, Ask a Pol’s Matt Laslo found himself on an elevator with Blunt Rochester, so he asked about the SAFER Banking Act before her aide blocked Ask a Pol before everyone exited the elavator into crowded hall of reporters, tourists and politicans.
Lisa Blunt Rochester: “Hi, how are you?”
Matt Laslo: “Congratulations.”
LBR: “Thank you, thank you, thank you.”
ML: “I’m curious…”
Rep. Mike McCaul entering elevator: “Yeah, she said that Peru would…”
ML: “…do you know where you are on SAFER Banking Act over in the Senate?”
The US Senator’s aide cuts the US Senator off.
Aide: “What is your name and outlet?”
ML: “Matt Laslo. I've got my own wire service.”
Aide: “What was that?”
ML: “Matt Laslo. I've got my own wire service.”
Laslo hands the aide a business card.
Aide: “Oh, you have a card.”
ML: “I used to cover her back in the day for WHYY.”
LBR: “Oh, great. Okay. So, do you mind if I just follow up with you over email?”
ML: “Yeah.”
LBR: “And it's about SAFER Banking?”
ML: “SAFER Banking.”
LBR: “Okay, great. Yeah. We'll follow up over email.”
*aide never followed up…

ML: “Cool, cool.”
LBR: “Thank you.”
Elevator passanger: “It’s Maya.”
ML: “Because they never vote, I poll US senators. I already have 100 senators on SAFER from the 118th [Congress].”
The blocker of an aide doesn’t do her job well, as she doesn’t listen and thus doesn’t hear a word Laslo says…hence this post showing their press stratgey is shit and a disservice to the people of Delaware. — Prof. Laslo
Aide: “Alright, will do.”
ML: “Have a good one, ma’am.”
LBR: “Thank you.”
