CNN host confronts Jill Stein over why she met with Putin in Russia and she blames the Democrats

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?”

and this is where Ms. Stein lies her ass off:

"‘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.”"

were on her campaign website. Here's what the text says:

"While in Moscow, Jill Stein met Russian President Vladimir Putin who spoke at a dinner held for attendees at the Moscow forum organized by the RT news network."

Stein may be correct about the exact picture that the media is using. She was careful to post a visual of Putin speaking rather than one of him sitting at the table.

I wonder why Stein didn't mention that she was seated at Putin's table?

That you were dressed to the gills in your sexy, treasonous shawl, all perfumed up in your Chanel No 19 sitting there at the same table with treasonous Misha "Lock her up" Flynn and eating the equivalent of ruskie Creme Brulee with a "Look of Love" in your both of your eyes--staring at fellow comrade putin tang THROUGH your ruskie Creme Brulees



Hillary MADE you travel to mother russia, sit @ a table & eat that ruskie Creme Brulee, while staring lovingly at comrade putin tang

She's got to be held to account for outright lying.

That recount was meant to throw everyone off the scent. A recount using the same, altered machines would produce the same result and make everyone feel confident the election was genuine. But Hillary knew. Remember we were wondering why she didn't join with Stein in demanding a recount? Yeah, this is all circumstantial, but I will be vindicated in the future. I know it.
