Green Party Nominee Jill Stein: Sometimes Candidates Must Be ‘Provocative’ to Garner Attention on Issues

During the Green Party townhall on CNN, Green presidential nominee Dr. Jill Stein argued that sometimes you have to say “provocative” things in order to get people to pay attention to policy.

Sometimes you need to say something provocative to get people to look past political personalities & at actual policies. #GreenPartyTownHall

Stein also repeated the argument that while Donald Trump in her view says “despicable” things, she also thinks Hillary Clinton does “despicable” things.

Trump says despicable things. Hillary has a despicable track record. #GreenTownHall

Stein is openly courting left-wing supporters of Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders who are upset over perceived “rigging” of the Democrat primary by the Democrat National Commitee and oppose several positions of Democrat nominee Hillary Clinton.
