Maddow Scorches Trump: 'Heckuva Day To Have Russia On Your Lap'

Rachel Maddow highlights the WEAK so-called president and how Russia is clearly calling all the shots in the Oval Office.



Maddow:
So I know you know how all of those individual dots, right? But it's amazing to see them connect on a day like this. It's an amazing thing to have the president as of today officially being impeached for him trying to help the Kremlin in that way, while he is simultaneously meeting the guy from the Kremlin in the Oval Office. I mean, from the White House's perspective this is not great timing for having a meeting with a senior Russian government official, right? While he's being impeached for helping Russia. Why would we think it's the White House that made this decision and not the Russian government dictating these terms? It was only yesterday that the white house finally confirmed this meeting would take place. For days the Russian government and Russian state-run media have been saying that Lavrov was coming to Washington, he was going to be meeting with Trump. And the white house wouldn't say anything and wouldn't confirm anything, and finally yesterday they confirmed it. The rollout of the meeting was also super awkward and insulting to the united states. On terms that are favorable to the Kremlin and not to the U.S. The White House put out their official readout of this meeting today: "Today President Donald J. Trump met with Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov of Russia. President Trump warned against any Russian attempts to interfere in United States elections." Oh, really? Do you believe that President Trump in his meeting with the Russian foreign minister today sternly warned him against any Russian attempts to interfere in US elections? You think President Trump actually did that, actually issued that warning to Russia? Well, the foreign minister Mr. Lavrov was asked about that by reporters after his meeting with President Trump, and regardless of whatever was in that White House readout, Lavrov immediately shut that down.

1. Lavrov was in town to give Trump his annual review from the home office

Makes me wonder if the home office isn't satisfied with Trump'd performance would they (the Russians) order Republican senators to vote for impeachment?

2. Sure he did.

Then they laughed and clinked champagne glasses, as chowed down on some righteous Bib Macs.
