Hillary trolls Putin with one word!
The Late Show with Stephen Colbert has become must-see television for political junkies, not only for Colbert’s withering monologues but appearances by marquee guests. Last night, Hillary Clinton paid a visit – and her world-class trolling of Vladimir Putin was nothing less than spectacular:
Hillary Clinton continued her book publicity tour Tuesday night when she stopped by CBS’ The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. … The most interesting story was her difficult relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin during her time as secretary of state under President Obama.
Clinton and Colbert discussed Russia’s involvement in hacking the election—”[Putin] doesn’t like democracy…he wants to destabilize our country,” she said—before segueing into her own interactions with him.
Clinton told Colbert that she and Putin clashed on diplomatic matters when she was in office “which he did morph into a grudge against me.”
“I don’t take it personally,” Clinton said. “I see it as I was doing my job. I was honored to speak out on behalf of American values and our democracy.”
The former Democratic presidential candidate accused Putin of sexism, saying, “Partly because I’m a woman, which seems to get him a bit agitated… There’s an expression, we certainly know it in New York, called manspreading. Every time I met with him…it would be [legs sprawled out]. The whole deal,” she said.
