Jill Stein’s Ties to Vladimir Putin Explained – Newsweek

After Jill Stein announced she would seek the Green Party’s nomination for president for a second time, an image of her seated at the same table as Russian President Vladimir Putin has resurfaced.

Stein announced on Thursday that she would run as a candidate, after Cornel West, a philosopher and civil rights activist who had captivated the party faithful, dropped out of the race to run as an independent.

Stein’s first presidential run was in 2012, against Barack Obama and Mitt Romney. She also ran in 2016, garnering one percent of the popular vote.
