Maddow tells TPM why her team was booted from Christine O'Donnell HQ.

MSNBC's Rachel Maddow and her show's producers were ejected from Senate nominee Christine O'Donnell's headquarters today with an "angry guy" insisting they were not welcome back.

Maddow tweeted earlier about the kerfuffle, sure to be a part of her show tonight:
Ejected from O'Donnell HQ. Staffer insulted producers Bill & Laura then angry man came outside and told us to leave and not come back.

This afternoon Maddow told TPM in a statement that she spoke with O'Donnell's staffers "multiple times about us being here today and wanting to speak with someone -- anyone, even a volunteer -- from the campaign."

Maddow said that the producer who made the initial calls and the executive producer went into the O'Donnell offices without a camera crew to check on the status of their request.

4. So did O'Donnell visibly kick out her lesbian sister from her camp?...

Maybe we should get Laura Flanders to try to interview her too, and establish that they have a pattern of "outing" lesbians. And Laura doesn't get an interview, then maybe Laura or Rachel can interview O'Donnell's gay sister Jennie... Heck, Jennie IS campaigning for O'Donnell, so I guess the answer is that she only kicks out lesbians that aren't in her family... Kinda like Cheney I guess.

5. I don't think so, unfortunately.

"MSNBC sources stressed that there was no camera crew there, and the arrival was no ambush. The Maddow team was making an in-person followup after their multiple phone conversations."
