Quoting RT plays into Putin's hands – Hillary Clinton
[RT] Former US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has claimed Russian President Vladimir Putin is "thrilled" by the growing political divide in Washington over aid to Ukraine. She also alleged that the Russian leader "scores points" whenever Americans reference views shared by outlets such as RT.
"as shown in a dossier I received"
In an interview with PBS’s Geoff Bennett released on Tuesday, the former secretary of state and principal architect of the Russiagate conspiracy theory was asked how she thinks Russia perceives the growing opposition among US lawmakers to funding for Kiev.
Clinton suggested that Putin was not only pleased with the rift among American politicians, but was also "fomenting" it in order to "undermine democracy" and "suborn political leaders."
"When I see people parroting Russian talking points that first showed up on Russia Today [RT] or first showed up in a speech from a Russian official, that’s a big point scored for Putin," Clinton said.
She went on to suggest that despite the "ideological" and "partisan" political divide, the US Congress must work through its issues and ultimately pass legislation that would ensure continued aid for Ukraine.
