Ryan should have said “please, one at a time. I will answer both of you but please your questions one at a time...”
That's not exactly true. She pushed back at Biden at other times - when Biden tried to say that the military supported drawing down the Afhanistan surge before the fighting season was over, she called him out on that. There may have been other times as well.
Not that she was fair or even-handed--anyone watching (honestly) saw that she wasn't--but we don't do ourselves any favors by overstating the point like that.
I suggest Biden took a page from OJ Simpson’s defense lawyers who interrupted the prosecution’s closing argument over 60 times, notwithstanding there is a strong practice and tradition that closing arguments are not interrupted except for egregious violations. The defense lawyers abused the system, were borderline unethical and certainly despicable.
