A few hours after the DNC Forum in Ohio, Democratic National Committee chairman candidate Jaime Harrison issued this statement:
“Putin and his henchmen helped Donald Trump win the election, and it appears that the nomination of Putin pal Rex Tillerson for Secretary of State is Trump’s way of saying ‘spasiba.’ The Senate must act in the U.S. national interest and say ‘nyet.’”
The subject of Tillerson or the Trump cabinet in general did not come up during the forum.
For those who skipped Russian in school, “spasiba” means “thank you,” and “nyet” means “no.”
