Fair point. But I don’t understand it in that context because he says “you’re a Russian stooge that got left behind for a more annoying Russian stooge”
So if he were referring to Stein, who is the “more annoying Russian stooge”?
To copy the text of someone else in this thread who explained it better than I can: All this suggests is that the Russians tried to divert left leaning voters away from Clinton by boosting Stein’s candidacy. There is zero evidence there that Stein was contacted by Russia or even aware of the way in which her campaign was being hijacked.
Hmmm, maybe, but I don’t understand it in that context because he says “you’re a Russian stooge that got left behind for a more annoying Russian stooge”

Trump gift-wrapped the Republican Party for Putin, and when that happened, the Russian influence campaign stopped support for the Green Party (and stein, specifically) because they were just less useful.

And I disagree. All this suggests is that the Russians tried to divert left leaning voters away from Clinton by boosting Stein’s candidacy. There is zero evidence there that Stein was contacted by Russia or even aware of the way in which her campaign was being hijacked.

Trump.
OH!!! Yeah, ok, I can see it that way now. I feel silly for not noticing. I’ll delete my original comment!
Trump.
Before republicans turned all pro-Russia, Green Party was pushing Putin’s agenda.
Specific to Stein, for example.
