Vens called Putin a 'petty dictator' over the surge in energy prices
U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris, during a rally in Montana, unexpectedly used fairly harsh rhetoric toward the Russian ruler Putin.
As KTVH reports, commenting on the rise in gas prices, the Republican recalled 2022 a year when Russia invaded Ukraine. According to him, 'energy prices skyrocket every time some petty dictator decides to throw a tantrum.'
Usually, the Trump administration avoids calling any authoritarian state leader a dictator, and even more so criticizing Putin, whom the White House occupant repeatedly praises for 'wonderful conversations.'
It is also strange to hear criticism of the Kremlin from Vens, who is considered a more anti-Ukrainian speaker within the Republican Party than Trump and others in his circle. The vice president spoke directly about Ukraine not being in NATO, accused Vladimir Zelensky of ingratitude, condemned Ukrainian strikes on Russian energy infrastructure, and acknowledged a divergence of interests between Kyiv and Washington.
