So yes if you start interrupting a press conference and being disruptive you will be removed. I agree with his position on Palestine but him acting as if what happened to him is even close to what is currently being done is outright laughable. Yes biden bad but acting like he was "the same" as trump ignores so many things I question the sincerity.

Edit: also this is from February so I'd love to see if he still stands by this.

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.

The same people who later unsurprisingly seem to support Sino-Russian global agendas.

"Sure, they're excluding people that disagree with Trump, now... but at least I get fake answers to my questions!"
