Green Party candidate Jill Stein fires back at 'spoiler' accusations
Raw StoryU.S. Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein says she's riding a wave of support unlike anything she's experienced in past campaigns -- and is unfazed by warnings that her run could tip the scales in Donald Trump's favor in a tight race. "This is self-serving propaganda," said Stein at a watch party in Dearborn, home to the United States' largest concentration of people of Middle Eastern heritage. The party has faced uphill battles for ballot access, which Stein blames on Democrats and "their army of lawyers" for deploying underhanded tactics to keep the Greens off ballots. Still, Stein says attacks from Democratic heavyweights like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez -- who labeled her "not serious" and "predatory" -- and hostility from Democratic-leaning platforms such as The Breakfast Club radio show, have only energized the Green base.
