Lucy Caldwell: Not a ‘Blind Spot’ for Trump to Be Silent on Putin’s Role to Navalny’s Death, ‘It’s a Feature, Not a Bug’

EXCERPT:

CALDWELL: "I mean, respectfully, when we refer to something like this as a blind spot, this isn’t a blind spot of Trump’s. This is a feature, not a bug. Donald Trump has enjoyed being with cozy with Vladimir Putin. He has enjoyed being cozy with other dictators. And so what we see here is Donald Trump refusing to come out and condemn something that is really heartbreaking — heartbreaking, appalling and reflective of the rise of authoritarianism globally, and that he is not going to be a part of the solution, he is going to continue to be part of the problem not only through his own self-involvement and self-aggrandizement, but also — in comparing himself to Navalny, but also in his refusal to condemn the murder of Navalny at the hands of Vladimir Putin."
