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.
There's, she was photographed seated at a table with Putin and his entourage, as well as Michael Flynn.
Sorry, but I gotta ask what happened with your typing in that last sentence. "There's, she was ---"
I think you tried to say "There she was ---" But you somehow added three unnecessary characters.
I'm in no way going against what you wrote, just can't understand what happened.
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 proxy wars in Ukraine and Yemen. 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.
I voted Jill Stein in 2016. My vote didn't matter as I'm in Washington state and we went for Clinton anyway. I was a low information voter at the time and have since resolved to pay way more attention to things like this.
