Blinken cracks up at hearing over GOP senator's conspiracy theory

CNN's Chris Cuomo debunks a right-wing conspiracy theory suggesting someone in the White House has a "mute button" for President Joe Biden.

If there was such a presidential "mute" button, why didn't we start using it 4 years ago?!?

[ianreed]

That's about as absurd of a question as Gohmert asking the Forest Service if they can move the moons orbit to fix climate change.

Risch is 78 years old, is age incompetence really where he wants to go?

Everybody is always TOO polite and PC when answering these conspiracies.... Blinken should have replied " do you realise how crazy you sound...????"
Being polite to these people only makes them think there's some truth there...!!!

This stuff is getting really ridiculous at this point. They come up with the stupidest crap. These folks should be held accountable for all their lies. This is crazy.

This isn't the president that required a mute button. My god for him to even make that statement after trump was cut off from every social media platform. This is actually getting comical. Facebook and twitter had to muzzle trump because he couldn't shut that mile wide trap of his and this clown makes a statement like that. Unbelievable.

The saying "It's better to remain silent and thought a fool than to open your mouth and prove it true" seems to apply here. Strange stuff.

Somebody better watch mr. Risch before he wanders out into traffic...

GOP is really really funny and I do have a good time listening to those conspiracies BUT at the same time, I am afraid because they go more insane day after day.

[lwhitaker]

And I thought " changing the moon's orbit to fight climate change" was absurd. Go figure.

[rearchoker]

Why are all these guys obsessed with information from noobs online. These professionals cant figure out the info is coming from a false source. They don’t deserve the power they have. Its idiocy.

[brianholloway]

The fact they are doing anything to win should be reason alone both houses of Congress should make it a felony for politicians to lie and remove legislator immunity from defamation

[philipdmiller]

Blinken's internal monologue "Ah, the stupid is strong with this one" 🤦‍♂️

[AndyM_YYY]

If there was a mute button in the White House it would have been installed by General Milley while Trump was out golfing.

[ministryoftruth]

I've seen Senator Risch in several senate hearings and he asks the dumbest questions that one could imagine; so this is all par for the course.

[viking]

Idaho native here; Risch is an embarrassment. True, Chris..."don't buy the BS!"

[olevib]

Senator Risch is truly an embarrassment for the state of Idaho.

[happyh.joyjoy]

Is that the Jewish space laser button? Or is it a different button? How many secret buttons are there? Inquiring minds want to know!

[JellyBean-losl]

Oh my god. For crying out loud. How sad the GQP truly is. So pathetic.

[jackie]

🤣... they only had that for tRump!.. disguised as one of his "diet coke call buttons"..🤣
