Attending a press conference at a daycare facility with the children and their accompanying parents, some who are Republican officials, Reynolds used the children’s presence to shield him from questions from the press corps.on Foley’s lewd behavior and Reynolds role in the affair. The media asked the congressman to send the kids away so that mature subjects could be discussed, but Reynolds denied their requests. Seeing the ploy for what it was, the press was incensed.
