    Give the full exchange. I watched the full interview. She said “we condemn his actions”. She never could in a full sentence condemn him. It’s gotta be loaded with qualifiers, and even THEN nothing of value comes out of her mouth. It shouldn’t be like pulling teeth. It’s a simple yes/no.

      You are responding to a quote of her saying yes and condemning him, and getting interrupted by a bully.

        Saying yes then loading it with ten thousand qualifiers is not a clear yes. Nice try though.

          Qualifiers like “his invasion of Ukraine is a criminal and murderous war.”

        She was asked several times before giving a yes or no answer, despite giving one immediately for Netanyahu

          Literally the first word out of her mouth when asked the first time if hes a war criminal. This is incredible levels of lying.

        Wrong. Her answer is ‘yes’ followed by a million qualifiers. Because for sugar daddy Putin we need to use the softest padded gloves. We’re not stupid. The ruse is up.

          What kind of mental gymnastics do you have to be doing to claim that saying “Yes” to the question “is Putin a war criminal” isn’t a clear yes/no answer and clear agreement? This is like MAGA level insanity.

            Why can’t it be yes, full stop? The same way she did for Biden and Netanyahu?

            Saying yes with no many qualifiers is insane level of weaseling.

            Heres a simple example:

            “did you rape that woman” “yes”

            vs

            “yes she was asking for it”

            Is not the same. That’s what she’s doing.
