Joe Walsh Goes on Tweetstorm Against Russian Hackers and No One Can Believe It

Former Congressman Joe Walsh is known for threatening President Barack Obama with war, claiming he would bust out his musket if Hillary Clinton won the presidency, and generally being aggressively patriotic, especially on Twitter. Today, amid reports that Russia really did conspire to get Donald Trump elected, he tweeted this:

Joe Walsh

@WalshFreedom

I'm a Trump supporter. But if Russia messed with our election to help Hillary lose, I'd be pissed and I'd demand something be done about it.

@WalshFreedom

It will be utterly disgraceful if Republicans & Conservatives keep their mouths shut in the wake of what the CIA is saying about Russia.

your candidate asked for this and you are surprised??

July 2016:

Donald J. Trump said on Wednesday that he hoped Russian intelligence services had successfully hacked Hillary Clinton’s email, and encouraged them to publish whatever they may have stolen, essentially urging a foreign adversary to conduct cyberespionage against a former secretary of state.
“Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing,” “I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.”

he told the people "the election was rigged" now we know for who and when he said
"just give me the election" and also when he was asked if he was going to secede and bow out gracefully and never really gave an answer, HE KNEW ALL ALONG HE WAS IN. Treasonous bastard.

Of course, he only says "if" Russia fixed the election, "something" should be done. Like what, Mr. Walsh?

I would love to see a full, wholesome Dem response and solution. Everyone with a brain thinks we need a solution, but what would that be? Unchartered ground.

If you were wondering where Anonymous has been, they just could not be bothered to stop Trump if it meant helping Hillary. FourChan . Guccifer, Assange....

The bucket is the only one that will feed a family of four.
