Senate Republicans duck for cover after explosive Taylor testimony


If a top U.S. envoy’s testimony about Ukraine is a Capitol Hill bombshell, the Senate appears to be outside the blast zone.

Senate Republicans are largely dodging questions about the substance of William Taylor’s testimony, which rocked the GOP argument that President Donald Trump did not engage in a quid pro quo with the Ukrainian government.

Meanwhile, a surprising number of Republicans said they were unfamiliar with even the gist of Taylor’s testimony.

“Haven’t seen it. Haven’t read it,” said Sen. Jim Risch (R-Idaho), the Foreign Relations chairman. - Politico

Want to know when you have a ratfucker cornered? They say don't recall reading what you're asking them about. Standard ratfucking republican deflection strategy.

2. The Fascist dictator...

The Nazi Rethug Party runs for cover so they can concoct another noncriminal/criminal conspiracy that seeks to full exonerate their Fascist Party leader.

6. "Haven't read it." "Well, don't you think it's your responsibility to be informed?"

Why won't any CorpoPravda schmuck ask the obvious follow-up question?
