Putin: Jews might have been behind U.S. election interference


Russian President Vladimir Putin suggested in a new interview that people with different ethnicities who hold Russian citizenship could be behind interference in the 2016 U.S. election.

Putin told NBC News in an interview that the U.S. was refusing to work with Russia on cybersecurity and “instead throws 13 Russians to the media.”

“Maybe they are not even Russians, but Ukrainians, Tatars or Jews, but with Russian citizenship, which should also be checked,” Putin said. “Maybe they have dual citizenship or a green card, maybe the U.S. paid them for this. How can you know that? I do not know, either,” he added.

Israeli lawmaker Ksenia Svetlova quickly called on Israel to condemn Putin’s “harsh” comments, saying that "if Israel does not defend the Jewish people, no one will, according to Haaretz.

"Maybe the Jews meddled in the U.S. elections. Maybe the Jews rule the world, maybe the Jews slaughtered Jews in Poland – all of these claims have one root cause – a hatred of Jews," Svetlova said.

"“Maybe they are not even Russians, but Ukrainians, Tatars or Jews, but with Russian citizenship, which should also be checked,” Putin said. “Maybe they have dual citizenship or a green card, maybe the U.S. paid them for this. How can you know that? I do not know, either,” he added. "

Not only sounds like what Trump would say but sounds exactly how Cheetolini would have said it. Add a 'bigly' or a 'sad' and it is Trump to a 't'.

But the US and European neo-Nazis love to hear this from Putin, as if Putin were a reincarnated Hitler (and Trumpy a reincarnated Mussolini).

Our politics is very bad right now, but at the drop of a hat, it could become much, much worse.
