Secretary of State Antony Blinken was roasted online for condemning Russia for convicting opposition leader Aleksey Navalny on “politically motivated charges” while his own government is prosecuting the Biden administration’s leading opponent, President Donald Trump.
Navalny was given an additional 19-year sentence on Friday for promoting “extremism.” Navalny was already serving a 9-year term for parole violations, fraud, and contempt of court, reported CBS News.
Blinken posted on Friday, “The United States strongly condemns Russia’s conviction of opposition leader Aleksey Navalny on politically motivated charges. The Kremlin cannot silence the truth. Navalny should be released.”
The Biden administration is trying to put Trump in prison for the rest of his life on politically motivated charges, as are Democrat state and local prosecutors in New York and Georgia.
Donald Trump Jr. scorched Blinken, “Exactly ZERO self awareness!!! You really ceded the moral high ground here… Wonder where they got the idea that it’s acceptable to jail your political opposition?”
Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT), “Regimes that prosecute opposition leaders on politically motivated charges deserve strong condemnation.”
