Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) suggested Monday that Russian President Vladimir Putin has some sort of financial influence over former President Trump.

In an interview with MSNBC’s “Inside with Jen Psaki,” Pelosi said Putin is the “richest person in the world” and has “stiff competition” to being named the most evil person in the world.

Pelosi asked “what does he have on Donald Trump that he’d have to constantly be catering to Putin?”

Her comments came just after Trump doubled down on his criticism of NATO and said he would encourage Russia to attack U.S. allies who fail to reach the alliance’s defense spending goals. Trump has also declined to criticize Putin for the death of opposition leader Alexei Navalny in a Russian prison last week.

        He’s probably just saying “consider the source” in a roundabout way. I’d only take stock tips from Pelosi.

        A person that receives massive bribes from israel is throwing someone under the bus for taking massive bribes from Russia…

        I’m glad someone is still buying into this theatre. More posts about Orange Man on my front page please. Nanshill Pelosi is definitely going to liberate America.

          I’m googling for what you’re talking about and finding nothing. Do you mean she takes contributions from pro-Israel PACs, the entirely legal way politicians raise money?

          And you’re equating it to a foreign leader having secret leverage over a likely major party nominee?

          No matter the false equivalence you find it wouldn’t impact whether or not she’s right, I’m just shocked at how far you’re willing to stretch to find an equivalence.

            Ah I forgot. Pelosi is a foreign agent for israel. which is very good and very legal.

            While Trump takes money from Russia! which is very bad and illegal.

            And because israel good and Russia bad, Pelosi good and Trump bad.

              Your definition of “foreign agent” has to be so broad as to be meaningless to conflate the two. Pelosi did not do anything illegal, Trump did (according to her). It’s not because of the countries involved, it’s because they did different things.

                Oh my bad, serving a foreign entity and accepting bribes from them is different when it’s legal. You are very smart thanks for pointing that out
