Sen. Richard Shelby (R-AL) - Traitor or Patriot, You Decide.

.

Hint: This is not occurring in the US.


A Kremlin-funded television station this week broadcast images of Sen. Richard Shelby (R-AL) rubbing shoulders with Vyacheslav Nikonov, the grandson of Joseph Stalin’s foreign minister.

In a tweet on Tuesday, Russian media analyst Julia Davis first noted that Shelby appeared on VTGRK, a news station funded by the Russian government.

“GOP lawmakers requested that their meetings with members of the Russian government proceed in a closed format (no press allowed),” Davis wrote. “Here is @SenShelby chitchatting with [Vyacheslav Molotov’s] grandson, Vyacheslav Nikonov.”

“Happy #IndependenceDay,” she added, later calling Shelby’s visit “surreal.”

why don't they all get in a boat or a plane, and re-locate there? Isn't that what we always hear when they get flack about America?

But in this climate, the cult members believe the propaganda that Putin is "strong" "macho" and their best friend.

Still, we need to use these images and cut campaign ads questioning their patriotism.

Remember when the Republicans attacked Kerry for being "too French."

Well maybe these fuckers are "too Russian" to be real Americans.

So shelby didn't want the exposure while socializing with russian personnel. It was also mentioned by the NPR reporter that these gop senators ran away from the press. The russian senators were more willing to talk.
