Lara Trump, the former daughter-in-law of the ex-president Donald Trump and a senior campaign official, was recently questioned about her father-in-law’s comparison of himself with the deceased political prisoner, Alexei Navalny. However, she refused to back down from her stance.
Mrs. Trump is presently in the race to become the co-chair of the Republican National Committee, with a strong endorsement from her father-in-law. During an event with Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) in North Charleston, ahead of the South Carolina GOP primary, Lara Trump wore a Trump campaign hat.
After delivering some remarks, Lara took questions and posed for pictures. One reporter asked about Trump’s comment at a Fox News town hall this week, where he called the bombshell fraud judgment against him “a form of Navalny.”
Lara replied that she didn’t know exactly what he meant, then proceeded to make the comparison herself and repeated a slew of false claims.
But when asked if Putin is responsible for Navalny’s death, she sidestepped via Mediaite:
REPORTER: We’ve seen Trump like his legal woes and indictments to the death of Navalny in Russia. In what ways are the two similar?
LARA TRUMP: Well, I think you would have to ask him exactly what he meant, but I think we’re talking about targeting a political foe.
And that’s what you’ve seen happen with Joe Biden weaponizing his Department of Justice. There’s no doubt that if my father in law was not running for president of the United States right now, you wouldn’t see any of these indictments against him.
They wouldn’t be trying to tear his business apart, to ruin and destroy his family, his legacy and everything that he’s worked his entire life for. These things are not just, they are not real. They are very clearly designed to be election interference. And that’s exactly what it is.
Those are things you see happen in a communist country. Those are things you see happen in Russia to political opponents.
So I assume he meant that in very much the same way he’s been targeted as well.
REPORTER: And do you believe that Putin is responsible for the death of Navalny?
LARA TRUMP: I don’t know enough to comment on that.
