Biden condemns Russia's jailing of opposition leader Navalny: This. Is. Rich.
By Jack Hellner
The White House is mighty upset about this headline:
Russian court sentences imprisoned opposition leader Alexei Navalny to additional 19 years
They sprang to action with this stern warming, something that must have Vlad Putin quaking in his boots:
Price also condemned the court’s “sham ruling” of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny Tuesday, calling it “the latest in a series of attempts to silence Navalny and other opposition figures and independent voices.”
Navalny was sentenced to nine more years in prison in a move that was seen as an attempt to keep Putin’s biggest foe behind bars for as long as possible.
The new sentence follows a year-long crackdown by Putin on Navalny’s supporters, other opposition activists and independent journalists in which authorities appear eager to stifle all dissent.
The 45-year-old Navalny, who in 2020 survived a poisoning with a nerve agent that he blames on the Kremlin, is already serving 2½ years in a penal colony east of Moscow for a parole violation.
This. Is. Rich.
The Obama administration, the Justice Department and the Biden administration have been targeting and imprisoning people surrounding President Trump for years, solely because they are political opponents.
