Michael Savage: Obama's 'Murderous Gang' Tried To Assassinate Putin

On his radio program yesterday(link is external), Michael Savage said he was just asking the question: Did President Obama try to assassinate Vladimir Putin?

The conservative radio host, a fan of Putin(link is external) who thinks Obama may(link is external) have(link is external) killed(link is external) Justice Antonin Scalia, pointed to the death of one of the Russian president’s chauffeurs in a car accident in Moscow(link is external) as proof that there was “an orchestrated hit on the president of Russia,” likely ordered by Obama’s “murderous gang.”

This would be a pretty lame assassination attempt, seeing that Putin was on the other side of the country(link is external) in the city of Vladivostok at the time for an international summit and meetings with foreign leaders, a schedule that was announced months in advance(link is external).
