. . . where he then proceeded to shout a question at President Biden as he walked by. If you squint, you can just make him out all the way down there:

What an embarrassment:

Jim Sciutto stop asking questions from 100 feet away challenge.

Was he expecting an answer?

Then Keilar and Sciutto screaming at Biden the abominably horrible question, "Can you unite the country?" Does anyone have any idea what he could have possibly answered to that ridiculous question? Just stupidity from @CNN today. They should be embarrassed.

Don’t give him any ideas for a follow-up question if he ever withing speaking distance of the president again:

“Mr. President what is your favorite norm”

And be careful! This user was suspended for telling Jake Tapper to “smack your dolt colleague @jimsciutto upside the head” over his “dolt” question:

@47ph4X I may be too damn stubborn in taking a decision to appeal and not acquiescing to what they'd argue *isn't* coercion in message that functionality will return right away if I'd "rather just delete" tweet when penalty for filing an appeal = longer gag. ?
