GOP Takes Up Russia-Aligned Attack On Soros
How Russian propaganda on the Balkans found its way onto congressional letterhead.
By Isaac Arnsdorf, Andrew Hanna and Kenneth P. Vogel March 22, 2017

A group of congressional Republicans is teaming up with Russia-backed politicians in Eastern Europe with the shared goal of stopping a common enemy: billionaire financier George Soros.

Led by Rep. Chris Smith of New Jersey and Sen. Mike Lee of Utah, the conservative lawmakers have signed on to a volley of letters accusing Soros of using his philanthropic spending to project his liberal sensibilities onto European politics. As Lee and other senators put it in a March 14 letter to Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, Soros’s Open Society Foundations are trying “to push a progressive agenda and invigorate the political left.”

It’s an accusation that’s being fomented and championed by Moscow.

1. Two more turncoats named. Chris Smith, New Jersey and Mike Lee of Utah.

I think at least half the gop in congress is pro-Russia.

4. The republican party is infiltrated and compromised, it serves Russian dictator Putin now

As is hate radio and Fox news. The Russian assault on American freedom and democracy continues.

2. They need to be asked where they got their talking points. If it's Breitbart/FOX

or maybe Grover Norquist is part of the Russian/Republican alliance.

3. K&R

6. Disgusting teaparty dolts need to keep their noses out of international politics

and stop trying to collect rubles to line their pockets and please their overlords

[Me.]

7. How Stupid Are THese Guys?

Teaming up with Russian-backed politicians indeed. Haven't they read the news lately?

8. Where does this end? Seriously.

And Smith, Lee, and their constituents don't see the irony in this?

9. The right wing has been attacking George Soros for years

My conservative husband always throws out the Soros name if he is ever losing an argument about money in politics. Annoying but laughable.

10. According to Trump humpin Alex Jones fans, Soros funds "pizzagate".

The majority of this shit is spread through Infowars and Breitbart. And as seen last year, folks who buy into this shit take it seriously and are willing to kill over bullshit propaganda.

When you have folks as high up as Flynn repeating and acting on this shit....

What are we to expect? I hate everything about Trump and his fucking merry band of traitors.
