          And what media outlet is also inviting Putin? You are burying the lede that it is Russian State TV, RT. Kinda proves my point.

              Oh, please. Why hide that it was Russian state media? You know it smells to high heaven.

                    you asked why she was there. its state affiliation wasn’t relevant to the answer, but it is a well-known fact.
