    What kind of mental gymnastics do you have to be doing to claim that saying “Yes” to the question “is Putin a war criminal” isn’t a clear yes/no answer and clear agreement? This is like MAGA level insanity.

      Why can’t it be yes, full stop? The same way she did for Biden and Netanyahu?

      Saying yes with no many qualifiers is insane level of weaseling.

      Heres a simple example:

      “did you rape that woman” “yes”

      vs

      “yes she was asking for it”

      Is not the same. That’s what she’s doing.

        Either way it’s still a yes. Qualifiers don’t affect the result either in this case nor in your example.
