Nothing good can come from normalizing treason - which is exactly what our news media has done with the entire Trumpublican story.
What exactly is a "pro-Putin Republican"?
And what does it mean exactly that "Russia 'interfered' with our elections"? Did any Americans help them interfere - or were they aware that Russia was "interfering" on their behalf?
That is the point of interfering - so that one side will win and not the other.
For some reason, I have it in my head that Russia doing what it's doing - and Americans helping them do it - is highly illegal.
And treasonous.
And now normalized.
Mitch McConnell knew about Russian interference from intelligence briefings & the Mueller report, & still thwarted investigation and response.
