Russian Greens blast Jill Stein’s silence on Putin’s human rights abuses

Russian Greens blast Jill Stein’s silence on Putin’s human rights abuses
9/6/16 7:18pm by John Aravosis

Two representatives of the Russian Green Party eviscerated American Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein today for her cozy relationship with Russian president Vladimir Putin.

The Russian Greens said Stein was a willing accomplice of Putin’s human rights abuses against the LGBT community, environmentalists, artists, journalists and political dissidents:

“By silencing Putin’s crimes you are silencing our struggle. By shaking his hand and failing to criticize his regime you are becoming his accomplice. By forgetting what international solidarity means you are insulting the Russian environmental movement.”

for her actions there. State Attorney's office is on it, but it will probably come to very little, unknown if would be misdemeanor or felony. She was on national TV defacing a bulldozer on private property with spray paint, though.

Well, if she's imagining Putin would have given her a trophy for similar behaviors there, Russia's Greens could set her straight.

That's the deal it seems, and she's quite happy to stick to it as long as she can get a few fidiot morons in this country to buy into her quackery, woo, and the power of her magic unicorn farts.

She makes her "agenda" sound like rainbows and pixie dust, but if you listen critically, that pixie dust is more like shards of glass filled with hate. It's why she picked, to share her ticket, an asshole race-baiter who called President Obama an "Uncle Tom," called Bernie Sanders (along with his supporters) an "ideological prop" and "white supremacist."

Jill Stein is a nasty piece of work, a truly ugly being.
