Watching Biden Meet Putin Was ‘The Actual Second’ Trump Realized He Wasn’t President Anymore: NYT’s Haberman

Russian President Vladimir Putin seemed upset by a black American reporter after she asked him why he was imprisoning and murdering political opponents. Ultimately, Putin put the Black Lives Matter movement – which was created to protest the police killing of mostly unarmed black men – with the March 6 uprising.

“The list of your political opponents dead, incarcerated, or incarcerated is long,” ABC News’s Rachel Scott told the Russian President and former KGB official, “and you have now prevented anyone who supports him [Alexey Navalny] to run for office. “

“So my question is, Mr. President, what are you so afraid of?”

After speaking for a few minutes, Putin brought up Black Lives Matter.

“America only recently had to grapple with terrible events after the African American was murdered and Black Lives Matter followed,” Putin said. “I don’t want to pass judgment on that, but what we’ve seen, mass violations of the law and so on. We sympathize with the Americans, but we do not want something like this to happen on our territory and we will do our best to avoid tension, ”he said, referring to the BLM.

He concluded by saying he didn’t even want to go into the “fear of” part and called it “irrelevant”.

“So you haven’t answered my question, sir, if all of your political opponents are dead, in prison, poisoned, isn’t that a message that you don’t want a fair political fight?” replied Scott.

Putin then falsely claimed that the thousands of people who attacked the US Capitol in an attempted coup on January 6th were merely Americans with “political demands,” which is false.

“We sympathize with what is happening in the States, but we don’t want that to happen in Russia,” Putin concluded, equating the BLM movement with the January 6 uprising, two extremely different and unrelated events.
