Paused my ass, he fucking froze as if his brain was broken and was very clearly trying to fake technical issues despite obviously swaying back and forth a bit. The cnn host had to cut with the claim of technical issues after Stephen refused to respond to the host saying “Stephen? Stephen are you there? Can you hear me?”
The dude realized he said Plenary authority, regretted immediately and instead of pivoting and making it seem like a mistake by correcting himself to “plenty”, his brain broke. Fuck off with this sane washing NY Times saying he “paused”. That implies he resumed after a couple seconds.
I don’t think he was trying to pretend he was frozen at all. He was swaying and his eyes were blinking. There’s no way he could be thinking, oh, they will think I froze. He said what he said and stopped because it was a fucking out loud warning that this is what they want, what the fuck will America do about it? The answer is nothing. This will roll along as it has been.
They only spent like 15-20 seconds top on the “can you hear me bit” while he stood there blinking like a moron. Should have kept the camera on him til he snapped out of it (at which point hammer him on what he meant by that) or just let him look like an idiot standing there blinking for an hour.
