NBC reporter Katy Tur didn’t know what a Republican congressman was referring to when he said that Obama told Putin that he would have more flexibility after the conclusion of the 2012 election. Tur was asking Rep. Francis Rooney about the number of advisers within the Trump White House that she contends have a friendlier attitude towards Russia. Alex Griswold of Mediaite clipped the exchange :
NBC's Katy Tur Doesn't Remember Obama Promising Putin 'Flexibility'
Tur pressed Florida Representative Francis Rooney about the number of Donald Trump advisors with close tie to Russia. “I see a lot of folks within Donald Trump’s administration who have a friendlier view of Russia than maybe past administrations did,” she noted.“Well, I think it was Obama that leaned over to Putin and said, ‘I’ll have a little more flexibility to give you what you want after the re-election,’” Rooney responded.
Tur paused for a moment. “I’m sorry, I don’t know what you’re referring to, Congressman,” she said.
Granted, Rooney’s account is not accurate. As Griswold noted, Obama told then-Russian President Dmitry Medvedev that he would have more flexibility after the election concerning talks over missile defense.
Yet, Obama might as well have told Vladimir Putin, who was prime minister at the time, since it’s been alleged tat he was the one pulling the strings during the Medvedev presidency. Moreover, this hot mic moment came in late March of 2012 . Earlier in the month, the Russian 2012 election ended with Putin being elected president again. Putin and Medvedev have considered their respective governing roles as the “tandem,” and The Washington Post noted that Medvedev admitted to stepping aside in the 2012 election so that Putin could become president again . Regardless, even with the names mixed up, Tur should have known this.
Obama tells Medvedev he will have "more flexibility" after election
If Tur doesn’t ring any bells, she was the reporter who was irritated that President Trump called on our own Katie Pavlich during his press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. In fact, the president only called on conservative outlets during the presser, which drove the liberal media insane .
You are not kidding https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoey_Tur
Well, many Freepers forgot the same thing, now that they worship Putin as greater than George Washington.
She’ll never drown.....
OK, so they are that stupid, as well as being haters.
I wanted someone to point that out about obama saying he would have more flexibility... in an interview when they were attacking Trump or anyone around him. Someone finally did!!
The left have selected memory.
And boot output has more than doubled. It's glorious.
And the chocolate ration has increased from 8 ounces to six ...
The thing is, even this article lies. It states that his comment was only about missile defense. He actually said right before:
“On all these issues, but particularly missile defense, this, this can be solved but it’s important for him to give me space.”
So there were ‘other issues’.
That sounds like when Hillary repeatedly said “I don’t recall” under oath back in the 1990’s (add to that her more recent lies, every time she speaks). Bunch of lying Nazis who will say anything for their evil cause.
And her father, Bob Tur, was the Helicopter hunk who got the video of Reginald Denney being beaten during the LA riots. Bob Tur is now Zoey Tur, but still looks like Bob Tur, only with longer hair. I don’t know why any man thinks he could ever look like a woman. Has Katy accepted her father’s ‘change’ yet?
Looks like a linebacker who wears a dress and a wig (though I think the hair is real).
It got the chop, from what I read there in the Wikipedia article. I wonder what kind of b***h his ex-wife was to make him want to get his junk lopped off after producing two kids. No excuse, though, really.
Katy’s got some huge... tracts of land.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot. He threatened Ben Shapiro with physical violence for not RESPECTING HIS/HER/ITS PRONOUNS, and rightfully calling this anti-science a delusion.

Is it me or is it the same people who today regard Russia as THE enemy who LOVED Russia when it was the center of the Soviet Union?
Katy Tur is just waiting for Andrea Mitchell to croak.
