This one is easy, because it hurts the leftist Russian narrative

WHY should we care about a KGB thug alleging something could have happened?

The op started this thread simply to bash conservatives. Doesn't care one iota about facts or rational answers.

Pretty much been shot out of the water long ago. They love maintaining objects to focus their hate on. When Pence is elected President in 2024, Mueller will close his investigation and say he found nothing, after his team of lawyers banked 1/4B USD and will not have stopped Trump from completing his agenda of keeping promises and backing citizens.

Why did no CD posters start a thread?

Background:

Putin during an interview to NBC broadcast Friday, claimed Russian Jews could have been behind Russian meddling in the 2016 United States presidential election.
I didn’t hear about it until you posted it. Congratulations. Want a cookie?

Well, yes, there is that, and also the fact there is only one person on this planet who is more dishonest than Donald Trump, and that would be Putin. He couldn't tell the truth if he were on fire and that was the only thing that would save him.

Everyone knew he was just playing games, so no one paid any attention to what he said.

This is the first I have heard of it.

It does make me wonder how he could make such a speculation, and why he differentiates Russian 'Jews' from Russians in general.

Putin is an ex KGB agent taught to lie and be the lowest of low. Do I find anything Putin says as credible? Um. Nope.

The OP, by "anyone", seems to be referring to conservatives.

I have a question:

Why didn't the OP "speak out" about it?

Here's a reality of the situation:

Maybe "speaking out" about it harbors an inconvenient political discussion.

That discussion would point out that accusing a minority group of undermining the election is exactly what the liberals have been doing for he past one+ years, since the election.

It would point out that defending another minority group (Jews) from such accusations, based on an avoidance of seeming prejudiced, would seem hypocritical.

It would highlight a further double standard that some groups can not be effectively accused while others can not be; lest social shaming kick into high gear and prevent the political traction of such an accusation.

Were liberal Jewish authors at the nations newspapers concerned with advancing stereotypes with their year long Russian hysteria? Given their experience with such, I wonder why not?

Perhaps that's why people were a little slow to the trigger to address this issue.

Both Putin and Trump know who meddled in this election. They are both playing the press and American people. The gullible are eating it up...
