Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein has no regrets about her possible spoiler role in last years election, and she dismissed concerns about Russian interference as pathetic excuses for the Democrats loss.
"Stein said she would welcome an opportunity to testify before Congress about her campaign and her 2015 trip to Moscow, where she dined with Russian President Vladimir Putin at an event hosted by the government-funded RT network, reported Politico.
Mike Flynn, a foreign policy adviser to the Trump campaign who lasted less than a month as national security adviser, also attended that dinner and gave a speech, for which he was paid $45,000 that he later failed to disclose.
Stein told Politico she was not offered any speaking fees, and she said she declined RTs offer to pay for her travel costs which the candidate said was paid by her presidential campaign.
I am certainly not aware of any ties whatsoever, financial or otherwise, to the Russian government, Stein told the website.

Stein is a terrible person, and this comment regarding Stein says it all:
"Unless that chuckling you're doing is nervous laughter, you aren't human, Stein. Children and seniors are about to lose their health coverage, entire towns are losing 15 feet of coastline per year, the ultra-rich are about to get a historically huge tax break off the backs of the poor and middle class, and we are destroying our alliances and openly supporting dictators (yes, we supported dictators before but at least we pretended we were against what they were doing, now we are outright praising them for being dictators). How can ANYONE find this amusing in the least?"
