What should you do when a feral journalist shrieks at you? Sergey Lavrov masterfully demonstrates
This post first appeared on Russia Insider
Imagine you are walking down the street minding your own business. All of a sudden, a feral US journalist emerges from the bushes and begins to eat its own feces. What should you do?
Most would probably cross the street and then Facebook-livestream the journo poop-a-thon from a safe distance.
Not Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. Like all chain smokers, Lavrov is also a seasoned wild animal tamer.
Lavrov demonstrated masterful technique on Wednesday morning while handling Andrea Mitchell, one of MSNBC's most celebrated poo flingers.
Watch and learn:
Mitchell: Does the Comey firing cast a shadow over your talks, gentlemen?
Lavrov (sarcastically): Was he fired?
Mitchell: Yes
Lavrov (very, very sarcastically): You're kidding! You're kidding!
They don't call him YOLO Lavrov for nothing.
