In a statement totally lacking self-awareness, Secretary of State Antony Blinken blasted Russian President Vladimir Putin for jailing his political opponent.
Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny on Friday was sentenced to 19 additional years in a prison colony for extremism-related charges.
The United States strongly condemns Russia’s conviction of opposition leader Aleksey Navalny on politically motivated charges. The Kremlin cannot silence the truth. Navalny should be released.

Blinken’s tone-deaf remarks amid the Biden administration’s political persecution of his main political rival Donald Trump were brutally ridiculed on social media.
Navalny has around 2-5% support in Russia.
Far from ‘opposition leader.’
In fact, most Russians quite literally hate him.
Meanwhile, you are persecuting the actual leader of the opposition here at home.
Get a clue and STFU.
Loser.
