Lieu: Trump's NATO Remarks May Have Emboldened Russia to Poison Navalny
-
MSNBC host Alex Witt and Rep. Ted Lieu suggested Trump's NATO comments may have emboldened Russia to kill Navalny.
-
Lieu pointed to Trump recently saying Russia should attack European NATO allies. Lieu called this "traitorous language."
-
Lieu said Russia was likely listening to Trump and thought they had a "green light" to do "crazy stuff" after his NATO comments.
-
Witt noted Navalny looked healthy the day before his death, suggesting his sudden death was suspicious.
-
Lieu said it was "quite a coincidence" Navalny died right after Trump's NATO comments, implying Russia felt emboldened by what Trump said.
