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.

    Why shouldn’t compromised people talk about other compromised people? Shouldn’t we want all compromised people to be called out?

      Yeah, but also question why one compromised person is calling out the other. Like in politics, some people insult their opponent to get more support, etc.

        I don’t give a shit why they’re stabbing each other in the back. I’m pro-stabbing in general with these people.

        If you need some secret cabal reason why Nancy Pelosi would be calling out Donald Trump you’re too far gone for me to help.

        The people who like him never call him out, you can’t then denounce the people who don’t like him for having an agenda when they call him out. Obviously they have an agenda. They can also be telling the truth.
