Final Blinken Press Conference Erupts in Chaos
Secretary of State Antony Blinken has a rather eventful day during his last press conference.
As he started to speak, chaos broke out, with two of the journalists accusing Blinken of supporting genocide in Gaza.
The reporter, Max Blumenthal from Grayzone News was escorted out, but independent journalist Sam Husseini was dragged out of the room by security.
Have to Go
Both journalists are upset that the war between Israel and Hamas has not ended sooner, which led to Husseini screaming “Criminal” at Blinken when he was on the dais.
He screamed, “You pontificate about a free press! I am asking questions after being told by [spokesman] Matt Miller that he will not answer my questions.”
Blinken tried to get him to calm down, but Husseini fired back, “Everybody from Amnesty International to the ICJ [International Court of Justice] is saying that Israel is doing genocide and extermination and you’re telling me to respect the process?”
Right before Husseini was taken out, Blumenthal started firing questions at Blinken as well, later posting on X, “Why did you keep the bombs flowing when we had a deal in May?
“Why did you allow my friends’ homes in Gaza to be destroyed?”
Here is the incident as it happened…
These pro-Palestinian journalists seem to constantly forget the role that Hamas played, as well as other terror groups attacking Israel while this cease-fire agreement was being worked out.
Hamas massacred roughly 1,200 people, which included women and children, including newborns, but that all seems to be okay.
I am also sick and tired of Biden officials saying that Israel needs to do more to protect innocent civilians in Gaza.
First, they are allowing a terror group to operate on their soil, which makes them complicit.
Second, Hamas hides among civilians, and if you ask me, Israel has done an amazing job of limiting collateral damage.
If you look at the numbers, they are actually below the civilian casualty rates we have seen in other conflicts.
