33. That's my question

Wed Feb 3, 2021, 12:14 PM

Feb 2021

Are the reporters complaining about this nontroversy looking to get substantive answers to their questions, or are they secretly hoping that their ingenious zinger of a question will result in Psaki combusting spontaneously?

The part I like best about Boehlert's story is that when apprised of the vaporware nature of his complaint, the Politico reporter frets that maybe sometime in the non-specific future things might go sort of bad/wrong. A special little snowflake whose every slight - real or imagined, mostly imagined - must be assuaged.
