I kind of can't believe I have to engage in this but, because people are irrational once Russia is mentioned, she said dumb stuff about Putin. She disliked Putin before, especially because of his domestic violence laws. She's a survivor of domestic violence. Then, bc of the...
paranoid hysteria surrounding Russia (see, for example, your tweet), she thought that much of the stuff she heard about Putin was misinformation. As she said, she was watching Chomsky (who does not like Putin at all, but does think #Russiagate is bs) & Oliver Stone (who does...

her as a Russian agent and people like you believed it. And that's why we're in this position. And you and everyone else saying this should be ashamed that you're the ones doing the bidding of a powerful leader. Some of you, like the New York fucking Times Executive Editor...
