https://www.politico.com/news/2020/10/01/former-national-security-adviser-trump-putin-424458Former national security adviser H.R. McMaster said Thursday that President Donald Trump is aiding and abetting Russian President Vladimir Putins efforts to sow doubt about the American electoral system.
The stern warning from McMaster, who Trump handpicked to lead the White House National Security Council in 2017, came in an interview on MSNBC, after he was asked whether he agreed that the president posed the greatest threat to U.S. election integrity.
I agree that he is aiding and abetting Putins efforts by not being direct about this, right? By not just calling out Putin for what hes doing, McMaster said.
You know, Putin gets away with, I mean, literally murder or attempted murder because people dont call him out on it, he added. And so they are able to continue with this kind of fire hose of falsehood, to sow these conspiracy theories. And we just cant be our own worst enemies.
