Neil+Munro+President+Obama+Speaks+Homeland+stbxtZRuAf4lConservative news outlet Breitbart News has snagged former Daily Caller reporter and consummate wallflower Neil Munro as co-national political director.

Some may recall Munro as the journalist who famously heckled President Obama in the Rose Garden in 2012. While the president was announcing changes to U.S. immigration policy, Munro shouted, “Why’d you favor foreigners over Americans?”

It is this outspoken quality that made Munro such an attractive hire for Breitbart, according to Breitbart News executive chairman Stephen K. Bannon.

“Neil understands the great issues of our times- immigration, the global rise of Islam, the threats to American sovereignty- and will be one of our leaders in reporting it,” said Bannon.
