Democrat Hillary Clinton warned Wednesday that Russian
President Vladimir Putin is rooting for Donald Trump in
the race for the White House because the Republican
would be his “puppet.”
In a ferocious debate exchange, Clinton cited reports from
US intelligence agencies that Russian cyber attacks had
targeted her party and campaign, and demanded that
Trump condemn it.
“They have hacked American websites, American accounts
of private people, of institutions,” she declared.
“Then they have given that information to WikiLeaks for
the purpose of putting it on the internet,” she said.
Trump dismissed the intelligence reports, declaring: “Our
country has no idea.”
The property mogul said he might have better relations
with Moscow than Clinton would, declaring: “Putin, from
everything I see, has no respect for this person.”
Clinton’s response was sharp: “Well, that’s because he
would rather have a puppet as president of the United
States.”
Trump blustered back: “No puppet. You’re the puppet.”
But Clinton was on a roll: “It is pretty clear you won’t admit
the Russians have engaged in cyber attacks against the
United States of America.
“That you encouraged espionage against our people. That
you are willing to spout the Putin line, sign up for his wish
list, break up NATO, do whatever he wants to do.”
