Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) suggested Monday that Russian President Vladimir Putin has some sort of financial influence over former President Trump.

In an interview with MSNBC’s “Inside with Jen Psaki,” Pelosi said Putin is the “richest person in the world” and has “stiff competition” to being named the most evil person in the world.

Pelosi asked “what does he have on Donald Trump that he’d have to constantly be catering to Putin?”

Her comments came just after Trump doubled down on his criticism of NATO and said he would encourage Russia to attack U.S. allies who fail to reach the alliance’s defense spending goals. Trump has also declined to criticize Putin for the death of opposition leader Alexei Navalny in a Russian prison last week.

    They can’t because both parties are both rapists. And they love each other.

    “Jeffrey Epstein” ring a bell?

      Ah yes, both parties are the same. Because Obama or Biden would totally have nominated SCOTUS judges that would have ended Roe v. Wade or threatened Chevron or decide that a man who committed treason can run for president.

        You mean the Obama that literally owned the courts and intentionally didn’t codify Roe v Wade? Even though people were screaming at him to do it?

        But he didn’t cause it’s a nice election carrot. 🥕

        Vote for the libs! Abortion rights!

        Don’t vote for a real progressive or you will all die next election!

          How did he “literally own the courts?”

          and intentionally didn’t codify Roe v Wade?

          Please present evidence that it’s intentional.

          Don’t vote for a real progressive or you will all die next election!

          Who, in specific, should I vote for?
