Do we really have to explain the difference between public officials who work in foreign policy and directly represent the United States, versus private citizens?

She was investigated. They found no Russian money. AIPAC donates to Harris and Trump. Facts aren’t hypocritical.

Sure,

She appeared on RT as part of her campaign. Per the Intelligence Committee report linked:

”I just assumed that they had some kind of relationship with the Russian government and now my understanding is that they are probably state media, though they go through some nonprofit. Whatever, you know. Is their structure any different from Voice of America? Or BBC? I can’t tell you”

Also, from the investigation:

On December 9, 2015, Stein flew to Moscow to attend the RT Anniversary Gala. However, Stein paid for all of her own expenses and was reimbursed by her campaign because "it was very important that we [the campaign] were not going to be accepting money from a foreign entity of any sort, let alone something connected with a foreign government."Stein also was not paid to participate on any panels at the event.

She was investigated and the committee found no wrongdoing. It is not illegal for presidential candidates to meet with world leaders or do interviews with international media outlets.

As for the investments. If she is a hypocrite for having index and mutual fund investments in fossil fuels, then most Americans, as well as Harris, are too.

Kamala Harris’s notable investments include Vanguard Target Retirement 2030 Trust II, worth between $250,001 and $500,000, and SFDCP Large Cap Growth Equity and SFDCP Large Cap Eq S&P 500 Ind, each worth $100,001 and $250,000.

Emhoff’s retirement accounts are heavily invested in exchange-traded funds from Vanguard, BlackRock, and Charles Schwab. Some of the funds in Emhoff’s portfolio, according to documents filed by Harris in 2021, included:

  • Vanguard Small Cap Value Index (VBR)

  • iShares Core MSCI EAFE ETF

  • Vanguard Small Cap Growth Index (VBK)

  • iShares Broad USD Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF

  • Vanguard Growth Index ETF (VUG)

  • Vanguard Information Technology Index Fund ETF (VGT)

  • Vanguard Consumer Staples Index Fund ETF (VDC)

  • Vanguard Industrials Index Fund ETF (VIS)

Those who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones

Jill Stein could sue Thirdway.org for defamation and libel, this article is grounds for a lawsuit.
