Rohrabacher under fire over Russia ties

[UpInArms]

Rep. Dana Rohrabacher’s (R-Calif.) ties to Russia have become a flashpoint as the longtime congressman faces his toughest reelection to date.

Rohrabacher, who’s represented Orange County for nearly 30 years, has long been considered one of the most pro-Russia members of Congress. But recent developments in special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russia’s election interference have again put the spotlight on that relationship as Rohrabacher fights for his seat.

The congressman’s name surfaced again in connection with Russia when Richard Gates, a former campaign aide to President Trump, pleaded guilty in late February to lying about a 2013 meeting between Rohrabacher, former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and a lobbyist on Ukraine.

While recent polling shows that a majority of voters nationwide are concerned about election interference from abroad, voter backlash to Russia’s 2016 election meddling hasn’t pulled in individual members of Congress — except for Rohrabacher.

Can't feel sorry for any conservative, especially when they are a traitor to the United States.

2. What makes you want to puke constantly for 8 hours thinking about this person and his district

is I guarantee you EVERY one of his supporters WORSHIP Ronald Reagan.

You cant vote for this traitor and worship Ronald Reagan unless you are a world class hypocrite.

3. Then they officially are world class hypocrites,

but we already knew that. I would love Mueller to nail his ass and Nunes. Both of them have a loyal fan base in their districts STILL!

5. Well, Rohrabacher and Nunes.....

are the last line of traitorous GOP defense separating right-wing Californians from an all-inclusive government. You know how right-wingers hate to share their toys.

6. Don't ever mention "Taliban" around him, also.

Rohrabacher was talking up the Taliban for years, until 9-11.

7. Rohrabacher's going down this November.

8. Erik Prince, Russian enabler, hosting fundraiser for Rohrabacher w Mr Brat & ex-LtC Oliver North

(CNN) - Blackwater founder Erik Prince will host a fundraiser this month for Russia-friendly Republican Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, as Prince faces new questions over a 2017 meeting currently being investigated by special counsel Robert Mueller.

Prince and Rohrabacher have been friends and mutual supporters for years: Prince interned for the California congressman on Capitol Hill in 1990, and Rohrabacher vigorously defended Prince when Blackwater faced congressional scrutiny during President George W. Bush's administration.

The fundraising event, slated for March 18 at Prince's Middleburg, Virginia residence, is expected to be attended by GOP Reps. Tom Garrett Jr. and Dave Brat, and Lt. Colonel Oliver North, according to an invitation obtained by CNN. Tickets start at $1,000 for the general reception, although donors paying $2,700 will also be invited to attend a VIP event beforehand. But the fundraiser comes at an uneasy moment for the longtime allies.

9. I'm hoping his seat is in danger....

I live in Redondo Beach which is about 30 miles North of the Northern most part of his district (in Huntington Beach). I googled to get some information on what he's up against in this next election and four Democrats are running against him....
