Appearing on CNN Saturday morning, Green Party candidate Jill Stein gave a rambling explanation for why she met Russian President Vladimir Putin before the election saying no one cared about it until after former Secretary Hillary Clinton lost the 2016 election.

Speaking with host Michael Smerconish, Stein seemed incredulous that attention was focused on the meeting in Russia organized by Russia Today.

“Take me inside the dinner you had with Vladimir Putin in 2015 and the prominence it afforded you,” the CNN host began. “My question is was that in and of itself a form of meddling along the lines of ‘let me give some attention to green party candidate Jill Stein’ — you know the theory — any vote for Stein that otherwise would have gone to Hillary. What was that dinner about?”

‘Let’s be clear, that was a conference,” Stein replied. “That picture didn’t start to circulate until long after the election. It essentially wasn’t covered here in the U.S. there was media at that conference, and it was a day-long conference where my message was very clear. It was the message of my campaign. which is that we need a peace offensive in the Middle East. Now, this was a message that was particularly friendly to the Russians. It was saying to them that we need to stop the bombing. they had just begun bombing in Syria.”

“I would have loved for that message to have gotten out but there’s basically zero coverage,” she continued. “It’s now circulating. It’s funny, Michael, you have to ask why is that picture kicking up a storm right now? I think it’s very related to the fact that the Democrats are looking for someone to blame.”

Bwahahahaha.

You don't just sit down at a table where Putin is seated. She paid a price for that.

1. She has paid no price for her actions.

She was nobody in politics before, and remains nobody in politics. She was a drag on progressive politics before, and she remains so.

Jill Stein is not worthy of consideration of any kind. She never was, really.

And she's wrong in her facts, as usual. That photo was widely circulated long before the election.

[SHRED]

3. Yep

She's a liar.

[Docreed2003]

10. Spot on, as usual Mm

So the next obvious question is this: since she was so inconsequential to American politics...what the hell was she doing there at that "conference"? If I told you what I thought, I'd be venturing off into CT land, but I know you can read between the lines...

11. Her 5 minute of fame?

[susanna]

12. Thank you, MM. I, too, saw the photo months before the election.

She is definitely wrong about that.

[Blue_true]

13. I bet her next act will be to jump into a Massachusetts race to weaken the Democrat.

She has done that several times during the past in big races.

[stopbush]

15. Exactly. Why lie about it?

Anyone who knows who Jill Stein is (ie: a small minority of Americans) had seen that picture well before the election.

[SHRED]

2. She's a grifter

A charlatan.

[MineralMan]

5. Yup. And she still has that money she grifted for the "recount."

How she will use it remains to be seen. She really put one over on some people. A pox on her!

[bresue]

4. I cannot believe Jill is that naive!

Naivety does not excuse a dance with the devil or a handshake with a cobra! Either way, damage was done and if she does not realize it shows her stupidity!

[MineralMan]

7. She is not that naive. She knows exactly what

she is and was doing. That she has no shame is an indelible stain on her.

And yet, in this very thread, some will probably defend her. Feh!

[meadowlark5]

6. That picture circulated during the campaigns

Liar

[MineralMan]

8. Including during the primaries.

She is, indeed, a liar.

[Me.]

17. Exactly What I Was Going To POst

[Phoenix61]

9. It always amazes me how a person

can utter so many words and say absolutely nothing. She certainly didn't answer the question. And as noted up thread, it wasn't an open seating type event.

[ismnotwasm]

14. Fuck Jill Stein

That picture has been done been around. It's not new.

[R B Garr]

16. Wow, she sounds exactly like Trump and Putin. nt
