Jill Stein: I haven't read anything to indicate Russians interfered with 2016 elections

[Panho]

Green Party candidate Jill Stein, on Russia interference:

Stein, characteristically, regrets nothing. “To me, it was being able to show that these issues of corruption are very real, and I think the recount has been extremely validated since then by the findings you know of rampant tampering in a variety of election systems,” she said.

She directed me to a Bloomberg report about how Russian hackers targeted voting machines in 39 states as further evidence that her recount efforts were justified—which is odd considering Stein is not convinced that Russia interfered with the election to begin with. When I asked her about the various reports that indicate there was Russian interference in the 2016 election, she told me she hadn’t read anything to indicate “it was Russians,” but believes that voting machines were vulnerable to hacking.

1. So says the dinner table mate of Vladimir Putin.

[steve2470]

2. just go away Ms. Stein please nt

[Willie Pep]

26. She is the definition of a political gadfly.

Stein knows she will never win any of her quixotic campaigns but they feed her ego. Stein has an audience of people who lap up her cranky nonsense and in turn she feels good being their guru.

[RhodeIslandOne]

32. I hope shes jailed too when all is said and done n/m

[nycbos]

3. If the special counsel has something I her...

... I would love it.

[Tiggeroshii]

4. Anybody else kinda feel like jill stein is the left's ben carson?

[Beakybird]

6. She's not dumb like Ben Carson

She's being paid or there is kompromat on her - or she's wearing a guise in order to promote a pro-Russian agenda.

[Drunken Irishman]

17. Oh she's pretty dumb. Her answer on nuclear power was maybe the dumbest thing I've ever read...

And didn't she say wifi was giving our kids cancer or something? Yeah. She's not very smart.

[snooper2]

39. are you sure about that, you should read the article...or here

Just the first two paragraphs---

"Stein was looking for her cat. Inside her suburban treehouse of a home, slightly north of Boston, the two-time Green Party presidential candidate had been wandering around for about ten minutes, peeking in closets, disappearing into her bedroom. “Lily!” she called, but the feline refused to emerge. “She’s just shy,” she reassured me.

Stein is no stranger to losing things. When we met again a couple months later, we spent 15 minutes looking for her car, a blue Prius with a green "JILL STEIN" bumper sticker, after she forgot where she parked. She’s also lost the 2002 Massachusetts gubernatorial race, a 2004 Massachusetts House of Representatives race, the 2006 Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth race, the 2010 Massachusetts gubernatorial race, the 2012 presidential race, and the 2016 presidential race."




Oh, and Jill, just in the most random of chances that you might happen to read this thread- FUCK YOU

[Angry Dragon]

8. she is no brain surgeon

[marble falls]

18. Niiiiiiice one.

[Fred Sanders]

19. Stein is merely a graduate with honors of Harvard medical school and practiced as a doctor

for decades. And she is no Ben Carson who has let religion destroy his brain.

Corporate media distorted her very progressive Environment First (should have used that like I said Jill!) message by attacking her persona and too many Democratic party folk bought into it.

[LisaM]

27. If her message was Environment First, her campaign should have been against Trump.

Instead, she ran against Hillary Clinton. She must have been aware that Trump was a thousand times worse for the environment, but she chose to attack Hillary and shave off votes from the left. Therefore, I reject that as her message.

[Me.]

34. Oh My Goodness

such gobbledegook

[snooper2]

41. You do have a point there- Stein is environment first

And...she really lives it!


from the article-

"Her bathroom, impressively enough, was dirtier than my own, towels unfolded and the toilet unflushed, maybe because she’s one of those “if it’s yellow let it mellow, if it’s brown flush it down” type of environmentalists."




I so love VICE

[JI7]

25. i don't consider her to be part of the left or have any interest in supporting liberal causes

i think she is a con artist mostly. a fraud . a troll. a putin troll.

[tenderfoot]

40. No. She's just a right wing troll.

eom

[Bleacher Creature]

5. The recount was "extremely validated"?

How is that even English? And by "validated," I assume she's referring to the validation of her bank account.

[DinahMoeHum]

7. Fuck off, Jill Stein.

Maggot.

[R B Garr]

9. Jill Stein can show us her taxes.

Then she can look up what the FBI is doing and who has already been indicted. She sure is taking up the Trump lines, by way of Putin, obviously.

[elfin]

10. I really think she was on their payroll

And wonder if there has been any serious investigation of her tor her campaign finances along that line.

[annabanana]

36. ditto. . . .n/t

[icymist]

11. It's hard to comprehend anything when you have blinders on, eh Jill?

[Turbineguy]

12. Look up "useful idiot"

there's a picture of her.

[Leith]

21. And Here It Is!

Fuck her all to hell.

[LenaBaby61]

29. Treasonous ....

putin-loving, crazy COW.

[L. Coyote]

13. Another Presidential candidate that can't read. What are theodds?

[frazzled]

14. Well, when you only read Pravda ...

you probably won’t encounter anything that indicates Russia interfered.

[SeaDoo77]

15. I Haven't Read Anything To Suggest Jill Stein Isn't Braindead

Just sayyin'

[Fred Sanders]

16. President Clinton says this:

"Despite receiving a mere 1,457,050 votes nationwide last year, she became the perfect patsy (alongside many other targets) for devastated Hillary Clinton supporters to project their post-election grief onto. In Clinton’s election memoir, What Happened, she writes, “Stein wouldn’t be worth mentioning, except for the fact that she won thirty-one thousand votes in Wisconsin, where Trump’s margin was smaller than twenty-three thousand. In Michigan, she won fifty-one thousand votes, while Trump’s margin was just over ten thousand."

Although I think it was lack of political instinct by Clinton not to put those states only under lock but not yet deep in the vault.

[democratisphere]

20. Definitely an extreme drumpf supporter.

[R B Garr]

22. Yes, she is just fine with oligarchs after all.

Global murdering mafia oligarchs, even.

[dalton99a]

23. Liar.

[ismnotwasm]

24. #FuckYouJillStein

[LiberalFighter]

28. Her and Matt Lauer would probably enjoy each others company.

[still_one]

30. Stein and Nader are despicable human beings who will be remembered for helping George W Bush, and

trump roll back 70 plus years of progress.

A lot of folks will suffer because of their BIG LIE that their is no difference between Democrats and republicans, but they surely deserve to.

[bigtree]

31. she's not going to implicate Russia

...because doing so would solidify, even further, the negative attribution that's been made of her dinner with Putin (with Flynn also in attendance).

[pnwmom]

33. She's not going to because that would also implicate her. She was complicit. n/t

[spanone]

35. does this mean she can't read?

[HAB911]

37. I would not mind seeing her do the perp walk later

[kentuck]

38. Maybe you should start reading American newspapers, Jill?

Better to keep your mouth shut and let people think you are fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

[Johonny]

42. The Green Party quickly became a joke, huh?

[Aristus]

43. She could have stopped at "I haven't read anything" and been just as well off.

[MineralMan]

44. She must have sworn off reading altogether, then.

Perhaps she needs to invest in some new reading glasses so she can resume reading newspapers and other written material.

And she was supported by many in 2016. How strange that seems now to me...

[Takket]

45. Is she illiterate?

[JI7]

46. Any Comment from Jill Stein on Today's News involving Flynn ?
