As you know, Vladimir Putin's political foe Alexei Navalny died Friday in a Russian prison in Siberia. It's all very suspect. Was he murdered? President Joe Biden made remarks Friday about Navalny's death but spent part of his remarks blasting Donald Trump, who has criticized NATO nations for not ponying up more money for their own defense.
Former debate moderator John Harwood did the same, arguing that Putin helped Trump get elected, and Trump is paying him back by helping Russia conquer Ukraine. This contradicts reports that Putin actually favored Hillary Clinton, and the CIA "cooked the intelligence" to hide that fact. Odd that Putin didn't make a move on Ukraine while Trump was president and in a position to do something about it.
Harwood, who was booted from CNN in 2022, has it all pieced together.
Vladimir Putin, who caused Navalny's death, helped Donald Trump become president

Trump is trying to help
Putin conquer Ukraine, over the opposition of the free world
He has enlisted leading Republicans in his effort
American voters will decide in November which side they're on https://t.co/bP1okzMcES
Yes, they will. And Harwood might not like the result.
Navalny=Trump. The plan of the Biden regime and the Democrats is to ensure their leading political opponent dies in prison. There’s no real difference between the two cases

@CommunityNotes Putin wanted Hillary and Putin has now endorsed Joe Biden. It’s fake news to say Putin helped Trump.

Putin just endorsed Biden. Time to investigate #DementiaJoe for Russian collusion.

Is that why Putin endorsed Clinton in 2016, and Biden for 2024?

Putin says he prefers Biden over Trump, vouches for Biden's mental acuity by stating that all leaders use note cards and bump their heads sometimes. pic.twitter.com/F9GBKDwY4r

What a stupid argument. When Trump was president, which Ukrainian lands did Putin take?
— Justin T. Haskins (@JustinTHaskins) February 16, 2024
Oh wait, that’s right. That happened under Obama and Biden.
You’re back on this Russian collusion nonsense again?
— Not K (@NotK_US) February 16, 2024
You’re repeating an accusation that Hillary paid for and has been proven false.

Where is your evidence that Putin helped Trump become president? Do you have any? Are you relying on the same “intelligence” officers that said Hunter’s laptop was Russian disinformation?
— Stephen (@Stambo2A) February 16, 2024
So many falsehoods in one short post.
— Karl Wright (@DaddyWri) February 16, 2024
This is beyond mis- and disinformation, @JohnJHarwood. This is lying.

Do you get to edit the state scripts they give you or just have to read verbatim?

You are a horrible journalist, full stop.
— vinnie payne (@vinnie_payne) February 17, 2024
Good Lord you are a liar.
— DaveG (@d4vesgrill) February 17, 2024
If by “helped Donald Trump become president” you mean failed to help Hilary Clinton become president, then sure. Otherwise you’re full of shit.

Harwood just starts with a flat-out lie that's been debunked and then goes into insane hypotheticals.
OK, so Americans should vote for Biden in 2024 because he's been so successful in pushing Russia out of Ukraine.
