Putin’s Sexist Remarks to American Reporter

CNBC reporter Hadley Gamble interviewed Russian president Vladimir Putin in front of a live audience at a Russian Energy Week forum, but now state-run Russian media is accusing her of “positioning herself as a sex object” to throw off Putin. This comes after former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham said in her new book that Putin once used an attractive translator to distract Trump at a 2019 summit.

He called her a beautiful woman and Western media immediately states it as sexism.
WTF is wrong with them?

[plzleavemealone]

If anyone was being creepy it was her.

Its been 2 years now and im still looking for the sexist remark.

"CNN's respected reporter", this is the first time I heard about her.

I rewatched this video twice looking for Putin's "sexist remark". But of course, the U.S. media would never spread propaganda or falsely frame an event to angle it to their world view.

It's been an hour and I'm still finding where is Putin being sexist

[Just_Go_IT]

Here is some explanation: in Russia, it is customary, out of politeness, to say something pleasant before saying something potentially offensive to the interlocutor, but to say it directly and honestly without flattery.

Russia is full of beautiful women so she was an average compared to them.

[gibmodinero]

Imagine being former Intelligence Officer of KGB and being labeled "not used to having tough questions." Smh

[JahNuhThunDeeTheOneAndOnly]

*She is clearly being unprofessional.*

[__ROSS___]

Who was the sexist here, Putin calling her a beautiful woman or her body language? The western media is totally messed up.

[frederikaz]

What a human cow, she is brutally flirting with him in front of the whole world and he is sexist?!?! This is insane. I hate how twisted this world is.

[zekethefreak]

As a man and knowing that the Russians study every little detail that woman clearly knew what she was doing

[NiNGalaxU]

Watching this from Germany I must say this is a classic case of US media trying to tell their people what to think and what not to think. Nice "democracy" going on over there. Classic.

[davidcoen]

She was dressed like an escort, not a journalist.

[rayamin]

Lol... She looks comfortable rather than intimidated...

[AliAzri]

Putin to reporter: "You're beautiful."
Other reporter: "that's sexist!!!"

[NhatMinhNguyen-zxjd]

Out of politeness, Putin said she was beautiful. Somehow this stupid media thing calls that a sexist comment? Should Putin say she's handsome?

[Make_SL_Great_Again]

As a female, if you don't know how not to behave in front of an official, That was how!😂

"Putin isn't used to tough questions from journalists." Said with a straight face.
