Trump Brushes Off Putin’s Alleged Killing Of Journalists

Zeke J Miller @ZekeJMiller

Dec. 18, 2015

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.

I'm from a few blocks down from where Donald Trump was raised so my English is what you would expect from a New Yawker.

You want some polonium?

Yes, Polonium-210, "which experts say is many times more deadly than cyanide," the story notes, "can be bought legally through United Nuclear Scientific Supplies, a mail-order company that sells through the Web.

Are you one of the weak minds who laps it up?

Apparently. But still strong-minded enough to question whether it's all a homo conspiracy.

Help me out here: I’m supposed to dismiss allegations of Putin’s wrong-doing because the “elites” are mad about gay adopotion?

-----------------------------------------------------

I thought allegations are dismissed due to lack of evidence. If Putin is killing journalists where is said proof that the president can show the world and discredit his number one rival on the world stage.

Our leaders are also capable of killing terrorists and their families. - that’s what the drone program does. So why should that mean they’re capable of killing political opponents? Yet that’s what you claim - without proof - about Putin

I don’t think that you are Russian, myself, but I’ll continue to use it as shorthand. My bet is that you’re a Paultard.

Putin was good in the beginning, but he went too far.

“If you found evidence”

I’m still waiting for you to offer the evidence, not to speculate on how people would respond if you ever do so

Yep. It's the new FR standard. Failure to show obeisance to Vlad is an indication of support for Obama. And homos.

And I'm the one with a weak mind? LOLOL

"Donald Trump brushed off well-documented allegations"

Name those 'well-documented allegations' or STFU Time.Com.

Like your comment #6? What's the matter--you dish it out but can't take it?

For those who want to hear for themselves what Trump said.

It’s in the first 2 minutes or so.

“And he builds churches!”

I guess you’d rather see them blown up or desecrated, the way the Bolsheviks did

It does seem Putin grates on the gay agenda crowd - mostly because Putin's anti-gay agenda approach is workable and justifiable. Leave gay adults alone but do not allow for their so called lifestyle to be celebrated or promoted to children.

The allegations are out there. Just not the documentation to prove them

But Trump straight out said "Yes, I'd condemn that" re: the killing of journalists. So once again, the press [AND our resident Trump hating trolls] is reporting selectively to try to make news.

Just a minor edit for accuracy there FRiend.

Hello William. Glad to see you. I must have struck a nerve?

So why should that mean they’re capable of killing political opponents? Yet that’s what you claim - without proof - about Putin

Re-read my post, I didn't claim anything. I asked questions that are pertinent. Nothing more. Apparently, you may looking inside yourself, or are projecting your personal feelings.

Enough analysis...Trumpinator, you're from NY. What is that accent I detect? Then again, maybe I'm projecting.

Can't find the link now, but word has it that the polonium came from Chernobyl. Ya know, government kind of stuff.

Just sayin'.

Full disclosure, I don't like Putin.
