Surreal
This is how CNN framed it. "Cringeworthy heckling" by "activists." And while footage of Sam Husseini being dragged out by police plays, one CNN personality claims its a "testament to American democracy."

Why aren’t liberal academics and journalism critics — who constantly lecture us about the press giving Trump a “free pass” and “anticipatory obedience” — bothered by Sam Husseini getting dragged out of a State Department briefing for asking tough questions? www.newsweek.com/sam-husseini...
