Trump Brushes Off Putin’s Alleged Killing Of Journalists

Zeke J Miller @ZekeJMiller

Dec. 18, 2015

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump brushed off well-documented allegations that Russian President Vladimir Putin has had political opponents and journalists killed, following praise from the Russian leader for his presidential campaign.

In an interview with “Morning Joe” Friday, Trump said he was pleased to be praised by Putin. “Sure, when people call you brilliant it’s always good, especially when the person heads up Russia,” he said.” Putin had called Trump “bright and talented” and all-but-endorsed his campaign this week.

But when host Joe Scarborough raised doubts about whether Putin’s support should be coveted, Trump brushed it off.

“He also is a person that kills journalists, political opponents and invades countries. Obviously that would be a concern, would it not,” Scarborough asked.

What's wrong with being a Slav...aren't Trumps first and third wives Slavs?

Nothing, whoever that poster was was trying to insinuate I was a foreigner maybe a Russkie. I am not a Slav, I am not related to any Slavs and I am not married to Slavs. Though I can see why Trump prefers the Slav sports model. I am more of an American trucking type of model when it comes to females.

You ignored the civil war part. The problem is also that not all of Ukraine agrees. Should other countries have come and taken part in our Civil War? Would that have ended well?

The referendum in eastern Ukraine was a farce. I seriously doubt that a majority in the eastern two oblasts wanted to secede. A strong majority in both those oblasts voted for independence from Russia in the 90's.

I gotta go get some things done. I’m way behind because I’m here on FR blabbing and blabbing. LOL. Thanks for the exchange. I’ll have to read your response later.

Yes, I spend way to much time here my self.

Regards.

Never, ever forget . . . Nazis in Ukraine, but no Bolsheviks in Russia. They were all executed. I heard it here on FR earlier this week.

Again...

Neo-Nazis in Moscow's Service

Roots of Pro-Russian Separatists in Russia's Ultranationalist Groups (Nazis/Stalinists)

As I said (lol), more guys march in Russia with Swastikas.

And I will now add, many Russians march with Hammer and Sickle flags too.

Now you've done it. The only tactic for the Borscht Brigade that remains now is to introduce George Soros to the mix.

So we really will have evil Jew Nazis running the Ukrainian government. And then, after that, we may see some really crazy posts from all kinds of dubious sources (but leave the Russian propaganda machine out of it--because MSNBC, or something).

Well, Joe...I know you'll agree that there are a lot of hacks purporting to be "journalists" out there, and some of them probably need killing. As you are no doubt aware, Joe, life ain't for everybody. ;-)

I’ve no idea what you’re writing about, and, as usual, I doubt that you have any either. A conservative who fawns over Putin, as you do, is not really a conservative. He’s a dupe of an anti-liberty, authoritarian.

You know exactly what I am stating when you purposefully post a link to kavkaz - a Chechen jihadi site. Anyone who reads that website is scum.

I am glad Trump pretty much stated my opinion on the Putin kills journalist slander/libel. The evidence? None.

And you choose to ignore all of the other sites, some of which are clearly good, conservative sites. But since you’re a putinista first, first over the USA, I understand your absurd defense of Putin.
