Caught saying something incredibly vulgar and stupid. That’s Russia’s fault…
Via The Hill:
The White House is suggesting that Moscow is behind a leaked phone call in which a top U.S. official can be heard saying “f–k the EU.”
In the call, which was anonymously posted on YouTube, Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland and U.S. Ambassador to the Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt lay out their desired outcome for the crisis in Ukraine and accuse the European Union of not doing enough. White House spokesman Jay Carney said Thursday that the Russians tweeted out a link to the leaked recording, suggesting they were involved.
“The video was first noted and tweeted out by the Russian government,” Carney said. “I think it says something about Russia’s role.”
He stopped short of directly saying Russia was responsible for intercepting the call, however.
And State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki accused Russia of reaching “a new low.”
