It appears the question posed to Blinken was “Why aren’t you in The Hague”. While I agree with his sentiment, I question if he would have been booted if he waited until the question window rather than interrupting the Secretary’s statement. Not mad at his interruption at all, but I still don’t feel that’s equivalent to Trump’s level of media hostility in the slightest.
I admire this level of directness.
Yeah. Definitely aimed at shaming Blinken rather than getting an actual answer from him, but the guy deserves way more than a moment of shame.
Replying to "You're being abnormally violent" with "Wouldn't happen if you were more polite" is deeply missing the point.
Insisting that you get to choose the forum, and the format, and the rules for debate is part of the debate.
