Wallace sat down with the Russian leader in Helsinki and asked how come “so many people who were political enemies of Vladimir Putin are attacked?”

He was referring to the recent nerve agent attack on former Russian spy Sergei Skripal in the United Kingdom and the fatal 2015 shooting of Putin’s political opponent Boris Nemtsov.

“Well, first of all, all of us have plenty of political rivals. I'm pretty sure President Trump has plenty of political rivals,” Putin told the Fox News host.

“But they don’t end up dead,” Wallace responded.

Putin pointed out that U.S. presidents and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. have been assassinated on American soil.

“All of us have our own set of domestic problems,” Putin said.

So you see no one in America can accuse him of political assassination because "we" do it too. This is an evil bastard. He's admitting he's killing people.

1. Wow. So. Insane gunmen are the equivalent of state-sponsored murder?

2. How many people are assassinated for political reasons in Russia and the US?

It would be nice to compare numbers.

3. He trained Trump in

whataboutism and false equivalencies, apparently.

Edit: Don't forget, Trump said "You think we're so innocent?" when asked about Putin during the campaign.
