re: #228 Hecuba’s daughter

Is Dennis also a Putin puppet? I’m suspicious of anyone who is a buddy of Assad and apparently agrees with Trump on too many issues.

- minor grammatical edit

There does seem to be some questions about that.

Here is a Columbus Dispatch article from April 21st.

At the link, I see there is another story linked titled: Group that gave Kucinich $20K praises Putin, accuses US of war crimes. I think that must be about the same Syrian group.

The Columbus Dispatch - Kucinich still mum about Syria, Russia connections

…

On Tuesday, pursuant to an order from the Ohio Ethics Commission, Kucinich disclosed that he received a $20,000 fee last year from a pro-Syria group to speak in London at a conference sympathetic to the Assad regime.

Kucinich also has struggled during the campaign to support statements made on Fox News — where he was a paid contributor — that the investigation into Russia’s 2016 election interference was evidence of a “deep state” attempt to undermine President Donald Trump.

In addition, Kucinich has made repeated appearances on Russia Today and Sputnik, outlets controlled by the government of Russian President Vladimir Putin, Assad’s staunchest ally in the Syrian civil war. On Saturday, Kucinich’s spokesman continued to ignore questions about whether the candidate has received money from people or groups linked to Putin or Assad.
