Ajamu Baraka, who ran as Green Party nominee Jill Stein's running mate, hit President Obama for new sanctions placed on Russia over the Kremlin's suspected involvement in the computer hacking of Democratic leaders.
Writing Saturday on Twitter, Baraka linked to a report that said Russian President Vladimir Putin would not expel U.S. diplomats from the country in retaliation to the new sanctions.
"Move by Putin exposes Obama as immature hack he has always been," wrote Baraka.

Last week, the Obama administration announced plans to punish Russia for the hackings, which included the expulsion of 35 Russian diplomats in the U.S. and the closing of two Russian compounds, one that was in New York and the other in Maryland.
Baraka has criticized Obama's response to Putin in recent days, suggesting that the president has been too far to the "right."
"Can the democrats under Obama be even more right-wing when you are to the right of Trump on Russia. [sic] Obama please just go away after the 20th?" he said Thursday.
"Obama please just let it go and go make your money like your friend Hilary [sic]," Baraka said in another tweet.
