Jill Stein: I Think It Would Be Naive to Think that Russia Did Not Try to Interfere

EXCERPT:

STEIN: "So let me say I think it would be naive to think that Russia did not try to interfere. Certainly that’s what the United States, does and that’s not to justify it. Interference is wrong and it’s an assault against democracy, and it should be pursued, but we should pursue it knowing that we do it too. As James Wolfley, the former CIA head recently said publicly, I believe it was on Fox, yes, we’re doing that and we always do it and the records show that we do it about twice as much as the Russians over the course of the past — really since the Second World War. So, you know, this is an issue and it should be solved, I think, not by, you know, retribution, not by going to war, not by saber-rattling, it should be solved really through dialogue and diplomacy which is showing, you know, that it gets real results on the Korean Peninsula right now. We need to adopt that position right now and not go at it with bombs and missiles and threats, but with international dialogue and we need a treaty for international non-interference in elections."
