Russia's FM Leaves Amanpour Speechless, 'So Many Pussies' on Both Sides of U.S. Election
CNN's Christian Amanpour got more than she bargained for when she asked Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov what he thought of the current state of the U.S. presidential election.
CNN's Christiane Amanpour asked Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in an interview to comment on the state of the U.S. presidential election. She ended up getting a bit more than she bargained for when she prefaced the question with a reference to the Russian punk band 'Pussy Riot.'
Short transcript of the exchange:
- Hillary’s war: Can a no-fly zone over Syria work?
- I hadn't been called a kike since fourth grade. Donald Trump changed all that
- Vote Trump or face nuclear war with Russia, insists Putin confidant
AMANPOUR: Can I just try one last question? One last question. A bit cheeky but I'm going to ask you. Russia had its own Pussy Riot moment. What do you think of Donald Trump’s pussy riot moment?
LAVROV: Well, I don't know what this would English is not my mother tongue, I don't know if I would sound decent. There are so many pussies around the presidential campaign on both sides that I prefer not to comment on this.
Lavrov on Trump tapes: “so many pussies around your pres. campaign on both sides that I prefer not to comment.” https://t.co/3KtYnHs2PU
