in so doing, happily promotes Russian interests and damages Ukrainian interests. It's a form of contempt for American democracy. They do not care one iota about the truth.

In answer to a reporter's question, he said something like, "I do not know that Ukraine did not meddle in the 2016 election, you do not know, and nobody knows."

My rebuttal is that, from my personal experiences, I do not "know" that the earth is round. But, I believe that it it is round based on the knowledge I have acquired from reading knowledgeable sources on the subject.

The senator is indeed a disingenuous purveyor of false narratives.

lower the level of discourse for the rest when they stoop that low. It's like there's no anticipation of civility or respect anymore. And if someone does show respect they are mocked.

when I hear I serious southern accent, my mind immediately goes to: racist. I think it was because of the time period I grew up in. All the news from the south was of KKK killing, hurting and oppressing black folks, Jewish people and Catholics and they all had southern accents when trying to defend their positions.

And as for Kennedy, just listening to him and what comes out of his mouth makes me think racist along with being a Russian collusionist and Trump apologist.

He actually was as Kennedy kept spewing one falsehood after another. Even logic and facts (US intelligence said is was and still is all Russian interference) didn't stop his constant lying on behalf of Trump. I do wonder if his constituents still accept his version of events, at least a minority, we hope.
