Jill Stein makes an "impassioned" defense of North Korea and Russia, decrying the "demonization"

of North Korea.

http://www.mediaite.com/tv/jill-stein-slams-demonization-of-north-korea-in-bizarre-msnbc-interview/



Political activist and former Green Party nominee for President, Jill Stein, appeared on MSNBC on Sunday to provide an impassioned defense for the rogue dictatorship of North Korea and Vladimir Putin’s Russia.

Stein referred to the negative characterizations of the brutal Communist regime in North Korea as a way to ‘demonize’ them so the U.S. can implement a regime change.

“The demonization of North Korea is part of the run-up to regime change. she said.” “It’s part of demonizing a government that we then want to exercise regime change on.”

The address for donations was in MN, and MN has strong consumer protection laws. There might be grounds for criminal or civil action.

I guess that's why she has refused to comply with Senate Intelligence Committee requests for documentation.

Fuck Jill Stein!

If she likes NK or Russia so much, why doesn't she just take her sorry ass there!

Her egregious bullshit finally earned her a certain degree of real-world notoriety, I think.

It seems we have demons at home. History and events will run their course, she has already played her part in the worst disaster in American History; Donald Trump.
