In an interview with MSNBC host Alex Witt, Democratic firebrand Ted Lieu suggested that former President Donald Trump’s comments about NATO may have emboldened Russia, leading to the death of opposition leader Alexei Navalny in a Russian penal colony.
Trump’s NATO Remarks and Timing of Navalny’s Death
Trump, at a recent rally, declared that he would encourage Russia to attack NATO members who didn’t fulfill their financial commitments.
Lieu raised concerns about the timing of Navalny’s death, stating that it was a ‘coincidence’ and asserting that Russia might have perceived Trump’s remarks as a ‘green light’ to take extreme actions.
Lieu Criticizes Trump’s NATO Rhetoric
Lieu condemned Trump’s rhetoric as ‘crazy’ and ‘traitorous language,’ emphasizing that Russia was likely listening and interpreted it as a signal to engage in provocative activities.
Navalny’s Death and Biden’s Response
Host Alex Witt brought up Navalny’s death and sought Lieu’s thoughts on President Joe Biden holding Putin responsible.
Lieu expressed agreement with Biden’s stance and questioned the circumstances leading to Navalny’s untimely demise.
Trump’s Failure to Condemn Navalny’s Death
Despite Navalny’s death and widespread condemnation, Trump failed to condemn the incident during subsequent events.
Republican Nikki Haley criticized Trump’s response as ‘bone-chilling,’ accusing him of siding with Putin.
Navalny’s Political Significance and Putin’s Responsibility
Navalny, a prominent opposition figure against Putin, died while serving a 19-year sentence on politically motivated charges.
President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris held Putin responsible, emphasizing Navalny’s role as a powerful voice for truth, even in prison.
Family’s Heartbreaking Response
