Seems like, "gotcha journalism." That first question was pretty good and I wonder if Blinken would have answered it if he had ever gotten the chance. The "journalist" barely had time to breathe while throwing out rapid fire questions then he just started in with the accusations.
I’m all for protesting and calling out this admin but anyone who expected a different outcome in this situation doesn’t understand how these briefings work.
It was Blinken’s last briefing as Secretary. There will be no other opportunity to call out his enabling of the Gaza genocide.
I agree and I wasn’t arguing that point.
Then maybe understand they weren't expecting the questions to be answered.
I expect answers. I realize we won’t get them, but I expect them all the same.
Biden, Blinkin. Congress.
They made all of us complicit in genocide and I demand answers.
Yes. It’s going to be worse under trump.
