Vladimir Putin’s endorsement of Kamala Harris dominated social media on Thursday, September 5.
Speaking on the state-owned Russia Today, the Russian President said Joe Biden had “recommended all his supporters support Mrs. Harris” adding that “she laughs so expressively and infectiously that it means that everything is fine with her.”
Whether it was a genuine endorsement, sarcasm, or even a ploy to encourage fearful moderates towards Donald Trump is subject to debate. Putin indicated that he believes Harris wouldn’t pass additional sanctions against Russia, unlike Trump, under whom Russia never encroached on other territory (unlike under Barack Obama and Biden). Nevertheless, Putin’s support for the Democrat was particularly ironic after years of Russian collusion claims by the party.
In a dramatic sense of irony, staunch Harris-supporter and comedian Jay Black made a comment hours before Putin’s endorsement.
“I’ll say this slowly so MAGA can understand it: If. Russia. Wants. Your. Candidate. To. Be. Elected. Then. He. Shouldn’t. Be. Elected [sic],” he wrote on Wednesday.
The following day, conservatives flocked to Black’s post to ridicule his comments.
Another commentor noted that Putin had previously expressed support for Biden long before his decision to stand down.
Well, what are we waiting for? Let’s all rush down to the Polls and not elect Kamala.
Work the logic on this and think it through. The Biden-Harris administration has been sending obscene amounts of money to Ukraine supposedly in an attempt to thwart Russia and give them a black eye. So ask yourself, why would Putin endorse Kamala Harris?
Don’t let yourselves be lied to, my fellow Americans.
