CBS correspondent, Elizabeth Palmer is in Sochi, Russia at a hockey game where she asked President Vladimir Putin how the firing of James Comey would affect U.S.-Russia relations.
Vladimir Putin was on his way to the ice at a hockey game when CBS reporter, Elizabeth Palmer asked him about Comey’s firing. Putin thought her question was funny and shrugged his shoulders as he responded:
Putin said through a translator: “There will be no effect. Your question looks very funny for me. Don’t be angry with me.”
“We have nothing to do with that. President Trump is acting in accordance with his competence, in accordance with his law and Constitution.”
What about us? Why me?
After Putin reminded the reporter that Trump was acting in accordance with U.S. law, he invited the reporter to play hockey. Funny how Putin immediately had to say ‘We have nothing to do with that’ because Russia is being blamed for EVERYTHING these days. What an utter embarrassment for the media.
Fun fact: Putin actually understands and speaks English very well (among other languages).
