“Jill Stein is a useful idiot for Russia. After parroting Kremlin talking points and being propped up by bad actors in 2016 she’s at it again,” DNC spokesman Matt Corridoni said in a statement to The Bulwark. “Jill Stein won’t become president, but her spoiler candidacy—that both the GOP and Putin have previously shown interest in—can help decide who wins. A vote for Stein is a vote for Trump.”

The comparison between what she’s willing to say about Netanyahu and unwilling to say about Putin, in the same interview, to the same journalist, is striking.

The interviewer agreed with her twice about Netanyahu, yet they kept screaming he was defending Netanyahu
Yeah, they were arguing with FlyingSquid about it and even when faced with direct evidence blazera kept lying and lying. Obviously bad faith.
Youve got it backwards
“If you say that someone has said something, but not in so many words, you mean that they said it or expressed it, but in a very indirect way.”
Scroll down for the inverse
in so many words in American English in unequivocal terms; explicitly She told them in so many words to get out
It’s not working blazera. You’re not getting anywhere. Keep at it though so that you can keep yourself convinced.
