Sarah Sanders refuses to blame or even mention Russia in UK poisoning which she calls indiscrimin

"SNIP..............


Sarah Sanders refused to blame or even mention Russia over the poisoning of a former Russian spy and his daughter while they were living in the U.K.

During Monday’s White House briefing, a reporter noted that British Prime Minister Teresa May had accused Russia of “an unlawful use of force” after the poisoning was connected to Russia.

But Sanders insisted that the poisoning was “indiscriminate” and refused to name Russia as a suspect.

“We’ve been monitoring this incident closely, taking it very seriously,” Sanders opined. “The use of a highly dangerous nerve agent against U.K. citizens on U.K. soil is an outrage. The attack was reckless, indiscriminate and irresponsible.”

Hmm. Let's see. Someone with access to lethal poison gas (apparently gas) just happened to indiscriminately let it loose in the restaurant known to be frequented by a former Russian spy (and perhaps a Steel source), just when he happens to be there.

Yeah, right.
This is actually getting horrible. Seriously, the president-- unwilling to call out Putin at all-- is now excusing attempted murder? It's really true-- he won't hold Putin to account for anything at all. Putin can do no wrong.

And he does this in opposition to one of our true allies, the UK, and the PM who has specifically called Russia the perpetrator.

Our erstwhile allies have likewise been monitoring incidents closely, taking seriously every instance of the United States failing in its previous commitments. They are drawing their own conclusions about American reliability in the defense of freedom, human rights, and the international rule of law. Those conclusions are not very favorable to our country.

commitments re truth and simply standing for the moral high ground. My gawd did Sanders really use the word "incriminate" about the poisoning of an ex Russian spy and his daughter in a public place?

was released on everyone in the restaurant but it wasn't just a poor choice of words. It was a terrible mistake for a press secretary to make. Gaslighting is more like it. And she often purposely gaslights so why give her the benefit of the mistake.

they're deep in enemy territory of the country that they betrayed him with (UK/MI6 in this case), he can have them 'offed'.

Trump is deeply envious of his Putin's power, wealth, and ability to simply order the murder of people that displease him, and get away with it.

Basically Trump's just keeping his mouth shut, cause if he told the world the truth about how AWESOME he thinks Putin is for doing this, it would look pretty bad for him ... not even HE is stupid enough to not realize THAT fact.

I do hope he gets hammered on it though ... who knows maybe he'll eventually crack and give us all the "YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH" speech that finally sinks him.

accuses Trump's buddy, Putin, of attempted murder. Not acceptable. I want PM May to be told by the White House that she is not welcome in the USA until she apologizes to Putin and Trump.
