Wow, the Secretary of State not wanting to speak out of his lane is not the dramatic playground tit for tat that Tapper seems to project onto it.

It sounds like Blinken was being professional, not engaging with this press muckraking, and that's exactly what he should be doing.

This drama about offending a billionaire who clearly doesn't care about such things is nonsense from Tapper.
