While running for president in 2016, Jill Stein attended a gala in Moscow to promote RT “News”, the Russian propaganda machine that is banned in several countries for being a lie machine.

There’s, she was photographed seated at a table with Putin and his entourage, as well as Michael Flynn.

She was there on her own dime, attempting a diplomatic effort to get Russia to curb its violent tactics. Contrary to mainstream belief in America, this has greater potential to bring about actual peace than funding a proxy war in Ukraine. The fact she actually managed to be seated with Putin long enough for this picture to be taken is a testament to her legitimacy as a leader, and as a diplomat.
