Ashli Babbitt, 35, shot to death inside in the Congress Building.
In the interview, NBC journalist Keir Simmons first raved about various people who Vladimir Putin's government would have “ordered” murder. Among them are journalist Anna Politkovskaya, whose killer was convicted by a Russian court in 2014, and Sergei Magnitsky, an overweight Russian accountant who died of a gallstone attack while in custody for tax crimes in Moscow in 2009.
Simmons asked Putin if he had ordered the murders or if they were just a coincidence that they happened.
– No. We do not have this habit of killing people, Putin replied when NBC asked if he had ordered the alleged “poisoning” of opposition politician Alexei Navalny.
– Did you order the murder of this woman who entered Congress and shot to death by police? Putin further wondered, referring to Trump supporter Ashli Babbitt, 35, who was shot by a police officer during the riots in Washington on January 6. Although Babbitt was unarmed when she was shot to death, the US Department of Justice announced in April that the police who shot her will not be investigated for misconduct. His name was also classified by the authorities.
However, Keir Simmons continued to nag about whether Putin is a murderer or not.
– Mr President, are you a murderer? Simmons wondered.
– When it comes to this harsh rhetoric, I think it is an outcome of American culture. In Hollywood, there are some deeply underlying things in Hollywood – the macho ideal that should be seen as part of the art of filmmaking. But in the United States, it is part of the country's political culture. Not the culture here. This is not considered normal here, Putin said during an interview with the Kremlin.
