    she’s not the guest of honor. she’s just a RT contributor who got invited and paid her own way. this isn’t the OWN that Rachel maddow thinks it is.

      She’s literally sitting at the same table as Vladimir Putin. You think that have open seating at these events? Fucking Gorbachev was at that dinner and wasn’t even at that table. And yes, this all took place after Putin invaded Ukraine in 2014.

      If you’re gonna advocate for Stein you’re going to have to come up with something a little bit more convincing.

          There’s a very easy way to not end up sitting a dinner table with murderous dictator war criminals and traitors: don’t go to dinner with them in the first place.

          This isn’t exactly rocket science.

              Yes, in fact I do. Are you suggesting she was somehow tricked into attending a Russian propaganda event?

              Try harder.

                I think that she’s a regular contributor to RT. she went to their anniversary dinner. she paid her own way. she had no way of knowing who would be there or who she would be sat with.
