On a more recent occasion, he yelled at a reporter who pressed him concerning a controversial remark he made on social media about police.
The tense exhange happened during a campaign stop in Rockville, Maryland, where Trone expressed his anger about the outlet's reporting from the previous day on his claim that an "increased police presence" does not make people feel safe.
"You should be ashamed of the journalism that you did yesterday," Trone said as he approached the reporter who had just asked him about his widely panned X post focused on crime and policing. In the post, Trone claimed the American justice system is "systemically racist," and that an "increased police presence" doesn't "make everyone feel safer."

"I should be ashamed? I'm not ashamed, congressman," the reporter responded before Trone accused him of cherry-picking lines out of the post.
"You took one line out of 20, and you should be ashamed of that type of journalism… You're shilling for Larry Hogan, so keep shilling for Larry Hogan," Trone railed against the reporter, accusing him of advocating for former Republican Maryland Gov. Hogan, who is the GOP nominee for Senate.
