The Kremlins For Kavanaugh: Russian State Media Back Trump's Supreme Court Nominee
Putins media minions are echoing Trump to defend his Supreme Court nominee from the evils of #MeToo. Or maybe hes echoing them. Some minds think alike.

The Kremlins support of Donald Trumps objectives, devoid of traditional U.S. values, has spilled out into the issues typically outside of Russias purview, such as Judge Brett Kavanaugh's nomination to the Supreme Court.
Trumps disregard for human rights and values is balm to the Kremlins sanction-wounded heart, which is why the Russians were quick to jump on the Kavanaugh wagon.
Russian state media is supporting Trumps Kavanaugh nomination both in its domestic publications, as well as those aimed at the English-speaking audiences.
Hamilton 68, an organization which tries to track Russian influence operations on Twitter, also recorded extensive activity pertaining to the Kavanaugh nomination.

Stalin explicitly condoned it as a method of rewarding Russian soldiers and terrorizing German civilians.
