Puppeteers are distancing themselves from Vladimir Putin after both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump accused each other of being a “puppet” of the Russian leader at the final presidential debate on Wednesday.

“Thank you for contacting Puppeteers of America,” responded the executive director of national nonprofit Puppeteers of America, Paul Robinson, to Death and Taxes after being asked how the organization felt about the politicians’ marionette mudslinging. “First, Mr. Putin is not a member of Puppeteers of America. Second, no further comment.”
