I just wrote to Chuck Todd and asked him to report on Kennedy's lies next Sunday
He actually did very well I believe against Kennedy this past Sunday but Kennedy kept saying that the Financial Times and the Washington Examiner reported that Ukraine meddled in the 2016 election to help Hillary Clinton. Well the editor of the Financial Times says there is no such article and I looked around the Washington Examiner and they have no article like that - only one quoting Kennedy.
We must fight these lies. It is startling to me how these Republicans are all acting like Russian assets. Maybe they are Russian assets! Whatever, they need to be held accountable. Even if they get away with a lie during a news show, once it can be verified I think that show has a responsibility to report the truth. And that is what I told Mr. Todd - to report the correction on the next Sunday's show.

"Financial Times" Editor: "Can't Find" What Article GOP Sen. John Kennedy Is Citing About Ukraine Election Interference

Monday morning on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," Financial Times U.S. national editor Edward Luce said he "can't find" what article Sen. John Kennedy was citing when he said that publication had documented evidence that former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko was "actively" working for Hillary Clinton during her 2016 campaign.
"I think both Russia and Ukraine meddled in the 2016 election. I think it’s been well documented in the Financial Times and Politico and The Economist and the Washington Examiner, even on CBS that the prime minister of Ukraine, the interior minister, the Ukrainian Ambassador to the United States, the head of the Ukrainian anti-corruption league all meddled in the election," Kennedy said Sunday on "Meet the Press."
"I've been wracking my brain, as have colleagues, as to which Financial Times reporting Sen. Kennedy is referring to in support of this really fanciful contention that Ukraine meddled in the elections and I can't find it," Luce said Monday morning. "I don't know whether he did the same with the Washington Examiner and The Economist and so forth. But it seems like he just plucked those newspaper names out of thin air."
