Russian President Vladimir Putin compared Hillary Clinton and others who accuse Russia of conducting cyberattacks against the Democratic Party to anti-Semites who say “the Jews are to blame” for various problems.

“It’s easy to say it’s not our fault, it’s the Russians, they intervened, they interfered,” Putin said through a translator during the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum on Friday morning. “It’s like antisemitism. ‘The Jews are to blame; you are an idiot because the Jews are to blame.’ And you know what, such moods are — they will end up in nothing good.”
