Don’t cameras have a zoom?
Can we really tell how close they are?
They might be, but I would be careful about making assumptions either way.

The kids may very well have been acting in an aggravating way. Just like a hundred people I run into every week. And for the congressman to escalate the confrontation was just wrong. Politicians are (or should be) very well practiced in the art of deflecting difficult questions/situations.

My guess is that the congressman tried to stop to answer their questions but the kids got too excited and were holding the camera too close to his face and they refused to go through the formality of identifying themselves. They screwed up the interview but the congressman should have just walked away.
