Putin asks who shot Ashli Babbitt, accuses U.S. of arresting MAGA protesters for political persecution
June 15, 2021 | Jon Dougherty

Russian President Vladimir Putin has accused the Biden administration of jailing “MAGA” demonstrators who took part in the Capitol Building breach Jan. 6, likening it to “persecuting political opinions” the way a dictatorial government would do.

Putin’s comments come before a scheduled summit with President Joe Biden in Geneva, Switzerland, on Wednesday after he was asked in an interview in Moscow with NBC News last week about his jailing of opposition leader Alexei Navalny.

The Russian leader appeared to deflect the question and, instead, compared the Justice Department’s arrest of hundreds of Trump supporters who breached the Capitol earlier this year with Navalny’s treatment. Many Capitol protesters are still being held in custody months later, some for nothing more than simple trespassing. There have also been reports that some suspects have been physically abused, while others are being held for 23 hours a day in solitary confinement, the latter of which has even drawn criticism from some Democrats.

Biteme speaks loudly and carries a twig.  Putin's tool of choice is the Rapier.

The US now has official Political Prisoners, and the DC Jail is the new Tower of London.

Oh this is rich.

Makes me kinda wish Putin wasn't such a murdering authoritarian.

The only politican asking this question is the Russian Premier? 

Speaks volumes of the state of screwing we are getting from our government.

And BTW, I can not see one shred of inaccuracy in what Putin conveyed.

Maybe he really isn't one, but that's what the media want you to think he is.

Point well taken. He may very well be, but it would be foolish to take our media’s word on the time of day.

Putin schools Biden drools.

Biden 1-on-1 with Putin is a mismatch, but regardless, the media will make him look like Patton.

Maybe he was miffed at getting blamed for Trump's win when anyone with any sense already knew that he'd purchased his very own Hillary-Beastie, even if it was on a time-share basis with China.

That aside, why wouldn't he harpoon the Rodents?   They're no friends of his, even if they are working towards the same goal, the destruction of the United States.   He might feel that his feeding the flames a little would further the divisions and accelerate towards The Goal.

I doubt there's little Putin says that isn't calculated carefully.  Unlike Senile Joe the Usurper.

After the G7 summit -- even the reporters don't want to have to deal with Joe.
