Jill Stein Downplays Russian Meddling: Media and DNC Interfered in 2016 Election Too

[oberliner]

Days after the Russian indictments were handed down, Jill Stein appeared on MSNBC today to downplay Russian interference by pointing to American interference in the election.

She told Alex Witt the idea there was this big Russian attempt to back her campaign to hurt Hillary Clinton is absurd, saying, “This doesn’t pass the laugh test.”

Basically repeated the Trump/Hannity line.

1. Circular finger pointing accusation squads.

2. Jill Stein is a joke

I'm sorry that even for a nanosecond I considered her a serious candidate. It will not surprise me if she turns out to be one of the witting or unwitting colluded with the Russians.

3. How can Americans interfere in their own election?

That is like saying a referee interfered in a basketball game by calling fouls. Even if you agree that the media was biased in some direction it is still our media. That is not the same as a foreign government interfering in an election.

5. Or it's like saying the Celtics interfered with the Knicks winning the basketball game

[Willie Pep]

6. That works even better.

Stein is really grasping at straws here. She must be feeling the heat now that we know that the Russians were helping her campaign.

7. She is detestable

4. Russian tool

I wouldn't be surprised if the FBI hasn't interviewed her and Tom Hartmann already for being at that Russian table

8. Meto

I guess I interfered too because I voted.

9. Stein is still telling the Russian-funded lies.

[Jim__]

10. Yes, Americans interfered in the American election.

Just the same as Russians interfering. We need more clear thinking like this.

[oberliner]

13. She and Trump deserve each other

Both look after #1.

[ooky]

11. Jill Stein doesnt pass the laugh test.

[flotsam]

12. No Asswipe

The American media and an American political party PARTICIPATED in the election. Russia-an adversary-MEDDLED in the election.
