Republicans focus on the leak, not on the call from Trump to Putin to congratulate him for his "win"

Last edited Wed Mar 21, 2018, 10:43 AM - Edit history (1)

The journos or these Republican Trump mouth pieces just never cease to amaze. They ignore the elephant in the room, (an American president calling the Russian dictator to congratulate him on his "win", by suppressing voters and arresting or killing opposition politicians), and harp about "leaks" from the White House, as if the leaking is a bigger story than the actual story.

The question of the day should be, "Why is Trump calling the Russian leader to congratulate him on his "win"? What does Putin have on Trump to have him kiss his a##(# every chance he gets??" , not "who is leaking this info to the media?"

@ananavarro

Some Republicans are more upset somebody who put loyalty to America over loyalty to a President or a Party leaked re Trump congratulating Putin after being told not to, than they are upset about Trump actually congratulating murderous dictator, Putin. Nice try at pivotting, guys.

Been yakking that line all morning that President Obama congratulated Putin on winning the Russian election in 2012.

All I saw was a us ambassador did that, in a Google search.

Remember, those of us who were around then, Deep Throat? The guy who was the anonymous source that led Woodward and Bernstein to Nixon's dark secrets...

When he finally outed himself many years later, the Repub response was that he was the traitor because he "violated" some personal loyalty issues to the man who was president, but not his oath to defend and protect the Constitution.

It springs out of the authoritarian mindset.
