Trump Brushes Off Putin’s Alleged Killing Of Journalists

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.

Let us know when you can back up your views with evidence rather than knee jerk accepting Scarborough’s claim.
Um, you’d think that Time would be more interested in a candidate that was directly responsible for Americnas being killed in Libya ...
While they watched the murders on satellite? Nah............
Anyone who doesn’t think Putin kills people is dumber than a bag of Democrats.
I’ll be watching Trump on this but at this point it is just the commie media trying to hurt Trump.
I’m for Cruz, but I agree. I’ve been questioned myself about this Putin stuff. There are many such stories people can present, but I cannot convict without proof. The proof may be there, but I can’t tell. So I keep it in mind, but will not count it as proven fact.
There were lots of rumors about murders the Clinton’s ordered. Maybe true. I would like to blame them, actually. But I do not have proof enough. The rape charge was different. We had credible testimony. Even that didn’t matter to anyone who supported him politcally.
So, true or not true about Putin? Don’t know. I hardly see how it has anything to do with Trump. I am more bothered by the politicians and candidates who go off the rails slamming Putin for being the next Hitler. That sounds like Arabs to Jews sort of crazy hate.
Go Cruz!
and invades countries. Ol’ Joe never brought up the countries INVADED by Obama (Libya, Syria) or Clinton (Serbia).
It’s different when we do it..................
The “thug” Putin is protecting Russian orphans from the abomination of “gay adoption”. He is also a professing Christian. Therefore, western elites hate him and smear him.
Trump has the self confidence to not buy the smears mindlessly, without proof
The only thing that is certain is, if you found evidence and beat a Russian over the head with it, they’d try and change the subject. That’s what makes needling them so much fun . . . watching them scramble.
Loretta Fuddy (sp). She was killed but all the others survived. An accidental drowning, eh? Imagine that.
And he builds churches!
Wow, I want to hear more about how Joe justifies having an intern killed in his office.
Trump/Cruz is still my ticket—and I just defended him.
But to think Putin isn’t a cold, anti-democratic killer—and enemy of the US—is delusional.
I haven’t seen the proof of the allegations. This much we know: Putin outlawed gay adoption. Michael Savage asked whether that’s why our elites hate Putin

Your English is very good.
There is no proof at all Putin ordered killed any journalists
Do you know who Putin really is? Do you know him personally?
I don't know him personally, only from what I have read in his dossier (non-specific on purpose). Putin is cable of killing anyone. From the perps (terrorists) to their family and friends. Putin is efficient.
So, do you believe Putin is not capable of getting rid of opposition permanently? If so, I'm working on a deal to sell the Brooklyn bridge. Are you in?
One more question if I may? Where the hell did that polonium come from ?
5.56mm
Help me out here: I’m supposed to dismiss allegations of Putin’s wrong-doing because the “elites” are mad about gay adopotion?
Note the false headline: Trump defends Putin’s killing of journalists.
Delusional not to believe Putins a murderer? Where’s your proof the allegations are true? Recently one of the tabloids said Nixon had Kennedy killed. I haven’t seen proof for either. Why is it delusional not to accept allegations without proof?
Also, Russia’s orphans are protected against gay adoption. Could this be the real reason why our media hates Putin ?
Putin isn’t trustworthy, but Trump was right not to get drawn in by reporters looking to win headlines for themselves.
You’re supposed to require proof, not mere allegations. The tabloids hurl allegations about people every week. Are you one of the weak minds who laps it up?
Good wuestion. You tell me. If you have proof, please provide
