    She’s directly linking any protestation of the war with Putin. She’s essentially saying if you protest for cessation of hostility in Gaza you’re a tool of Putin.

    It’s incredibly disingenuous and will definitely hurt their numbers. And in a race that’s going to be as close as this is, it could easily lead to a red Presidency.

      Dude, you’re wildly misrepresenting the article and her quotes.

      She’s directly linked any protest of the war to being a Russian tool.

      Actual quote:

      I think some of these—some of these protesters are spontaneous and organic and sincere. Some, I think, are connected to Russia.

        I think you’re buying into her attempt to soften the blow.

        She starts off the statement by immediately linking protests with Putin, then follows it up by putting up a front as though she’s in some way neutral.

        John Stewart did a pretty good show about this sort of thing about a decade ago about Glenn Beck. “She’s only asking questions! How do we know these protestors aren’t all Russian agents, after all?”

          It’s hilarious to me how Nancy Grace used to be the caricature for this shit and now Democrats employ the same tactics with zero sense of hypocrisy.
