Moscow (AFP) - The Kremlin on Tuesday dismissed allegations that Russia was behind a hack of the Democratic National Committee's emails as absurd, mocking what it called obsessive references to Russia in the US presidential campaign.

"This absurd news was immediately refuted by the family of the well-known presidential candidate," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told journalists, referring to Trump's eldest son, Donald Trump Jr.

"We are still seeing attempts to obsessively use the topic of Russia during the US electoral campaign," Peskov complained.

"Unfortunately Russia is being used in the electoral campaign in the US. Unfortunately this traditional game is continuing.

"We think that's not very good for bilateral relations but we understand that we need to get through this unfavourable period."

They should put that on a billboard outside of the DNC.

Heads would explode.

“Kerry infamously stated yesterday that the greatest threat to America are our air conditioners and refrigerators. Meanwhile he issued a stern warning to North Korea: don’t terrorize South Korea, or else.”

Or else we’ll pelt them with air conditioners and refrigerators?
