Sen. John Kennedy goes toe-to-toe with LAVROV??!?

[Leghorn21]

”He's a bully. He impressed me as the sort of guy who started
out in the world as a smartass and worked his way up," Sen.
John Kennedy says of the Russian Foreign Minister.

Kennedy says he told him and other Russian leaders to "stop
screwing with American elections"

this is THE FIRST TIME EVER I have seen a GOPer act like an American
in - years and years?? - got to wonder, of course, if he’s just playing
the part of “good congressman”, but....dammmnnn.


LAVROV:

[Achilleaze]

1. republicans will now go gaa-gah to defend Lavrov

because he has a "special" relationship with Comrade Dirty Donny, the ignoble and deceitful republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief.

repubes are doing shit to defend America from the ongoing and well-documented russian ACTS OF WAR against America. Disgusting.

[redstateblues]

2. Kennedy is one of the few Republicans who occasionally make sense

[gratuitous]

3. Okay, sure, John

Whatever you say. You and your colleagues stomped over to Russia on the Fourth of July to tell them to stop screwing with American elections. Absolutely. And then Ron Johnson came out to say that sanctions against Russia weren't working, and maybe we shouldn't continue with them. You might want to check with your pals before coming out with diametrically opposite stories.

4. Kennedy is one of the few GOPers who occasionally says something that's not stupid.

I don't have much hope for any of them, but he seems to be one of the slightly less awful ones, kind of like McCain.

6. Yes.

I consider virtually all of them to be traitors, especially the recent moscow crew. Glad to hear he spoke up (or MAY have done so.)

[awesomerwb1]

5. You guys are surely not falling for this are you??

I call mega BS. These tools who went to Russia to celebrate the 4th of July are now saying this??

Riiiight. What patriots.

[elleng]

7. just Kennedy, it appears,

not all of the moscow tools.

[asiliveandbreathe]

8. SO HE SAYS, we will never know...eom

[Leghorn21]

9. I knowwww, as, what he said here is probably 100% bogus, BUT - for one gleaming second, I

was astounded that for the first time in ages and ages, a GOPer sounded like an actual AMERICAN, and I LIKED IT, and I imagined two or five or twelve more GOPers taking a stand, and I could hardly breathe...

“Oh well”, as they say!!

[librechik]

10. Kennedy's a wild card. I never know what to make of him.

[superpatriotman]

11. Bullshit

False bravado and phony nonsense.

Go play cowboy in your yard, Senator.

[NewJeffCT]

12. video or it didn't happen

i don't think it will be forthcoming.
