Showing Original Post only (View all)Mitch McConnell is a Russian Asset. [View all]
This doesnt mean hes a spy, but neither is it a flip accusation. Russia attacked our country in 2016. It is attacking us today. Its attacks will intensify in 2020. Yet each time we try to raise our defenses to repel the attack, McConnell, the Senate majority leader, blocks us from defending ourselves.
Lets call this what it is: unpatriotic. The Kentucky Republican is, arguably more than any other American, doing Russian President Vladimir Putins bidding.

The NRA gave dumpco at least 32 million in 2016. They also donated to most republicans.

Thanks. I didn't know that. It still should be called out, specifying names and amounts?

If it comes from Russians via NRA, isn't that a huge problem? If not, it sure should be.
