NBC
reporter and MSNBC host Katy Tur –
who accused President Trump’s advisers of having close ties to Russia –
appeared to draw a total blank when a Republican congressman pointed
out that former President Obama was caught on a hot mic pledging to
give the Russian president more “flexibility” after the 2012 election.
“I see a lot of folks within Donald Trump’s administration who have a
friendlier view of Russia than maybe past administrations did,” Tur
said during an interview with U.S. Rep. Francis Rooney, R-Fla.
Responding to her claim concerning previous administrations, Rooney
attempted to remind her about Obama’s famous promise to Russia.
“Well, I think it was Obama that leaned over to Putin and said, ‘I’ll
have a little more flexibility to give you what you want after the
re-election,'” Rooney said.
After a pause, the 33-year-old host replied, “I’m sorry, I don’t know
what you’re referring to, Congressman.”
If I remember correctly, this whole Trump/Russia foolishness started during the Trump campaign when he said that Putin was a much better leader of Russia than Obama was of the U,S. Now the fake stream media and the loony libs have blown it way out of proportion - - as per usual.

It wasn't Putin that Obama made his "I'll have more flexibility" statement to. It was Dmitry Medvedev who was President of Russia back from 2008 t0 2012.
ReplyDeleteHe was Putin's placeholder in between Putin's presidencies. At that time Putin was Medvedev's Prime Minister.
Medvedev is now Russian Prime Minister under President Putin.
Anonymous is correct. Little Che-obama said it to Dmitry Medvedev. Tomatoes/tomatoes. The comment was directed squarely for Putin.
ReplyDeleteBut the fact that she was unaware enough to correct him is very telling of her depth of political knowledge and very damning for her selection for the hit piece to begin with.
