These people, currently running our country, are so un-self aware as to be comical.
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.

State Department official spokesman:
Following today’s sentencing of Aleksey Navalny on politically motivated charges, we join Mr. Navalny’s family, colleagues, and supporters in calling for his immediate release and an end to the continued repression of independent voices in Russia. https://t.co/KPlgQLvHvV

And our Ambassador to the U.N. Human Rights Council:
I join my many colleagues in condemning Russia’s conviction of Aleksey Navalny on politically motivated charges. Suppressing freedom of expression undermines democratic values. We call for #Navalny’s release and reaffirm our commitment to defending #HumanRights worldwide. https://t.co/1JjWkimrzG
