what a transparent and lazy spin, as if taking a strong stance against and calling out the PROVEN election meddling of a foreign power was just 'risking peace' - slippery slope much? by that 'logic' no one can fight back against foreign interference anymore if they didn't want to 'risk peace'.
also, it's not about outright refusing any kind of meeting, the criticism concerned a completely private meeting that could (and did) turn out to result in a complete submission to a one-sided narrative, completely dismissing your own country (intelligence services, the vast majority of politicians from both parties...) in favour of russia and putin. they barely managed to stay one step below being so brazenly obvious that even the cult would have started to question who even their actual leader was...
It really shows you just how ridiculous what Trump said is. The White House comms strategy isn't defending any of it, but rather defending the meeting itself and sneakily implying that if Trump doesn't suck up to Putin, we won't have peace with Russia. It's ridiculous.
I haven't seen any Trump shills here actually defend it... just try to minimize and deflect as per usual when the dear leader says something completely stupid.
