In a development not surprising or shocking so much as noteworthy because it makes MAGA world’s exemplar of strong leadership look weak and cowardly since a willingness to sit for hostile interviews is one of their measures, Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov on Monday told reporters that Russian dictator Vladimir Putin won’t grant the Wall Street Journal’s Evan Gershkovich’s request for a chat as he had written on his release papers last month after over a year in detention, Reuters reports.
“We are not interested in such an interview. In order for there to be an interview with foreign media, and a specific one at that, we need to have an occasion. So far we don’t see such an occasion,” said Peskov. Christ that’s a fucking lame excuse, one that will be ignored by the fanboys still seething over Vice President Kamala Harris’s sitdown with CNN’s Dana Bash as not being hostile enough.
