Trump Fails To Mention Putin In First Reaction To Navalny’s Death
HuffPost
The Russian opposition figure died in a Russian penal colony Friday.
Former President Donald Trump on Monday finally reacted to the death of Alexei Navalny, three days after the passing of the Russian opposition figure was first reported, but notably failed to mention Russian President Vladimir Putin.
In a post of his Truth Social platform, Trump said Navalny’s death in a Russian penal colony near the Arctic Circle somehow illustrates what he described as “America’s path to destruction.”
“The sudden death of Alexei Navalny has made me more and more aware of what is happening in our Country,” Trump wrote. “It is a slow, steady progression, with CROOKED, Radical Left Politicians, Prosecutors, and Judges leading us down a path to destruction.”
Trump made no reference to Putin, who Navalny’s allies have accused of orchestrating his death.
Nikki Haley, Trump’s main rival in the Republican presidential primary, on Sunday told a Fox News town hall that the former president “needs to answer whether he thinks Putin is responsible for Navalny.”
