Reporter Sam Husseini was just physically dragged from Blinken’s briefing. “Why aren’t you at The Hague?” he asked.

Just before this, Husseini asked Blinken about the Hannibal Directive -- Israeli doctrine that says it is better to kill an Israeli rather than allow them to be taken hostage -- and Blinken said he would answer questions later. There was a back and forth with a state dept official -- she said wait to ask your questions, and he said Matt Miller had told him he wouldn't answer Sam's questions -- and Sam told her "go away" and added, "I'm not a potted plant." Then the security came in and it led to what you see above. I didn't record the earlier part because I didn't think it would lead to this kind of removal.

@samhusseini This is what fascism looks like.

@DropSiteNews @samhusseini Why didn’t fellow reporters step up and help him?

@samhusseini The new “cancel culture” is much like the old one—just more brutal.

@samhusseini Jesus what a way to end an administration. This is so shameful.
