Jill Stein Downplays Russian Meddling: Media and DNC Interfered in 2016 Election Too
Mediaite ^ | February 18, 2018 | Josh Feldman

Posted on 02/18/2018 2:12:13 PM PST by EdnaMode

Days after the Russian indictments were handed down, Jill Stein appeared on MSNBC today to downplay Russian interference by pointing to American interference in the election.

She told Alex Witt the idea there was this big Russian attempt to back her campaign to hurt Hillary Clinton is absurd, saying, “This doesn’t pass the laugh test.”

She continued on to say there was “other kinds of interference,” like all the airtime the media gave Trump in 2016:

“Yes, there was Russian interference, but remember, there was very compelling interference going on by way of media, by way of the DNC––did the DNC not rig the primary?”

Stein also took offense at the idea that votes for her were “stolen” from Clinton, adding that she was the subject of a “smear campaign” over that Russia dinner she attended.

Witt pressed her on whether she got “a single vote” because of Russian interference. Stein instead pivoted to talking about Americans were “in revolt” against the two-party system.

Watch above, via MSNBC.

Yeah millions of votes in swing states were changed because of some Russian Facebook trolls when most ad buys were AFTER the election. Just ridiculous, got that McMaster?

Yes. Trump never would have become President if the media hadn't helped him so much ...

Wasn’t Jill the one claiming the voting machines could be hacked with floppy discs?

“like all the NEGATIVE airtime the media gave Trump in 2016”

almost 100% of FakeNewsMSM endorsed Clinton....and lost.

they have never got over it, and everything they do now is to cover their tracks.

So basically this is about some chick that thinks she is hot stuff?

Yeah, I’m kind of going to not care.

Thanks.

Thanks EdnaMode. IOW, what she said made little effin' sense, and was just a different branch of the media narrative, designed to round up stragglers and put them back into the main route.

I hear this mentioned all the time as though that airtime was somehow positive for Trump. Nothing could be further from the truth. Almost all airtime Trump received was negative.

Looks like I have to agree with Jill Stein.

Seems to me that Russian meddling is as effective as a
garden hose at an oil well fire. A waste of their money.

By far, the most anti-American player who was deeply involved in attempting to sway the election was ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, NYT, WP, etc. How many billions of dollars worth of ads (their usual programing) did they run in favor of Clinton, and anti-Trump? Maybe we should investigate that.

I know a few brain dead liberals who gave her money for that recount effort and whined about no results.

13 Russians and 63 million Trump voters indicted for meddling in US elections by voting for the wrong candidate!

Mueller charges 13 Russian nationals, formerly known as Trump fans, and 63 million Americans, for meddling in US elections by voting for the wrong candidate.

Mr. Mueller added that up to 63 million Americans who disparaged Hillary Clinton by voting wrongly can expect a fate the same as the Russians, er, white males, and will get deported back to Moscow where they belong. Mr. Mueller did not rule out capital punishment. The assembled reporters wearing Hillary 08 lapel pins rose in unison, stamped their feet and cheered, as MSNBC’s Chris Matthews vibrated in the front row as he was having thrills run up his legs.

The indictment stated that these foreign agents, aka, white men and women wearing MAGA hats, wrote anti-Hillary diatribes in the reader’s comments in the nation’s conservative journals and on the GOP website. To add insult to injury, they not only refused to watch the Fareed show on CNN, but congregated among other like-minded “Russians” at Tea Party events to freely spread vile, poisonous, unnatural and treasonous ideas right out of the US Constitution, Thos Paine’s Common Sense, Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged, the Bible, and the Federalist.

The indictment said that some defendants “communicated with unwitting individuals associated with the Trump campaign named Donald Jr., Ivanka, and an evil Little Me midget only identified as ‘Baron,’...” without disclosing their links to Russian dressing, subversive books by Leo Tolstoy, and sour pickles imported from Volvograd.

The indictment charges all defendants with conspiracy to defraud the Clintons, Barack Obama, and Nairobi, Kenya, all of whom correctly voted for Hillary. Most disturbingly, said Mueller, all they got for their efforts after having spent $1.2 billion for the campaign were red MAGA baseball caps. Three other defendants were charged with conspiracy for having an opinion other than that approved by the Reverends Jeremiah Wright, Jesse Jackson, and Al Sharpton. Five defendants were charged with aggravated FAKE NEWS that departs from the Current Truth which states that the US economy is in free fall and Hillary Clinton is the nation’s legitimate president.

The illegal voting by Trump fans under Russian control to get a Russian spy elected to the nation’s highest office was a Vast Right Wing Conspiracy against Hillary Clinton, Mueller said. He added, “After all Hillary did win the presidency and the popular vote of Mahattan’s Upper West Side, Brooklyn’s Park Slope, and Berkeley and Hollywood. It would be proper for these areas to choose America’s president, after all the rest of the nation are morons and should have no say in the matter” said Mueller.
