[+] catloaf@lemm.ee -28 points 2 years ago (3 children) Yeah she explicitly said "yes" multiple times. I don't like her, but this is garbage. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 32 points 2 years ago* Unless she can say the words 'Putin is a war criminal' she is avoiding the question. "In so many words" is not a yes. I understand she follows with yes he is, but why can't she just say yes, Putin is a war criminal? permalink fedilink source parent [–] dogslayeggs@lemmy.world 31 points 2 years ago (1 child) Because with the other 4 world leaders she said a simple, "yes." Every single time she was asked about Putin it was either a "yes..." followed by a qualification or a hedged answer that wasn't a yes. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago its clear she's being evasive with the putin answers. She's an absolute disgrace to the green party permalink fedilink source parent [–] EleventhHour@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago* I’m not so sure. I think that I’d need to hear/see the interview to know the tone/context. permalink fedilink source parent
