“Secondly, I want to ask you: Did you order the assassination of the woman who walked into the Congress and who was shot and killed by a policeman?” Putin asked. “Do you know that 450 individuals were arrested after entering Congress? And they didn’t go there to steal a laptop. They came with political demands. Four hundred and fifty people have been detained. They’re facing jail time, from 15 to 20 years. And they came to Congress with political demands. Isn’t that prosecution for political opinions?”
Ouch. I can see why there wasn’t a joint press conference.
Putin is undoubtedly an enemy, but his responses including Ashli Babbit are more honest in revealing the truth about Jan 6 than anything any other source has given.
