Would-be New York governor Jumaane Williams defends his appearances on RT America — the English-language wing of the Russian propaganda community RT — by protesting that he stopped in 2017 “because of its connections to the Russian government and its attacks on democracy, the harm of which far overshadowed any journalistic or public outreach value to the appearances.”
Which doesn’t clarify why he ever went on, not to mention at the very least eight occasions in 2016-17. He not solely went on the air to name then-President Donald Trump a “Nazi,” but additionally to insist that Russia and the CIA had turned the 2016 election in Trump’s favor.
All this was after Russia’s annexation of Crimea, and its election meddling.
No want to truly apologize, Jumaane. But why not admit you had been duped?
