Jill Stein: I Attended RT Dinner With Putin to Convince Russia Not to Wage War on Middle East

by Justin Baragona | 3:40 pm, July 1st, 2017

Besides associates of Donald Trump’s campaign, it appears that the probes into Russian election interference may have another target when it comes to potential collusion — Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein. Regarding her attendance of RT’s 10th anniversary celebration which featured her and Michael Flynn sitting at the same table with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) had the following to say:

<< “We’re certainly interested in any efforts the Russians made to influence our election. There have been public reports, I think, that Jill Stein was also in Russia attending the RT function, so we’re going to need to look at any efforts the Russians made through whatever means to influence our elections.” >>

Appearing on MSNBC this afternoon, the progressive doctor was asked about her attendance at the dinner and why it is getting talked about more and more now.

“I think it’s coming up now in part because the Democrats aren’t doing so well and they’re looking for scapegoats,” she exclaimed. “They’re blaming Jim Comey. They’re blaming myself, Bernie Sanders, everyone they can think of other than themselves.”

Like she was really wanting to convince Putin to not wage war....and then the next sentence she stated she did not even talk with him. Well, if I was running a presidential campaign for middle east peace...don't you think I would be taking that same opportunity to preach to Putin?

She is so transparent and unreal!!!!

Mother Theresa and Ghandi were not elected to do good for the people. Her hiding safe in the US is rather redundant.

She must enjoy it when people laugh in her face, because that is the only response that any thinking person would do whenever she opens her mouth.

Either that, or she avoids people who can think.

My advice to you, Jill, is to return to your folk music roots. Get back on the road and sing once more...

for a couple minutes and that the Russian speakers didn't talk to the English speakers.

She said she was there to celebrate RT's 10-year anniversary.

She's a liar. No one holds them accountable.
