I would hope you are not so uninformed as to think that was the entirety of the conversation about Russia? LOL ANybody who does that kind of thing is just desperate. If you don’t like being told you are using tactics of the left, then don’t use tactics of the left.
I wrote the exact words of both the question to her and her response. This particular "tactic" is also known as "quoting."
Now in this case, this nefarious "tactic" happens to make the quoted individual appear to be a dimwit - primarily because the quoted individual happens to BE a dimwit.
And I can certainly understand why a person who had admired said dimwit would be distressed by such evidence. But you can take solace in the fact that SHE uttered the nonsensical blather; you didn't.
