Sen. John Neely Kennedy (R-La.) said Sunday that both Russia and Ukraine interfered in the 2016 presidential election, despite the intelligence communitys assessment that only Russia did so.
The comments mark Kennedys latest attempt to shift the focus away from the U.S. intelligence communitys conclusion that Russia worked to help elect President Trump, following a Fox News Channel interview last week from which he later backtracked.

Todd pressed Kennedy on whether he was concerned that he had been duped by Russian propaganda, noting reports that U.S. intelligence officials recently briefed senators that this is a Russian intelligence propaganda campaign in order to get people like you to say these things about Ukraine.
Kennedy responded that he had received no such warning.

Kennedy argued Sunday that Ukraines efforts to interfere in the 2016 campaign have been very well-documented, citing reporting by the Economist, the Financial Times, the Washington Examiner and others.
Does that mean that Ukrainian, the Ukrainian leaders were more aggressive than Russia? No. Russia was very aggressive and theyre much more sophisticated. But the fact that Russia was so aggressive does not exclude the fact that President Poroshenko actively worked for Secretary Clinton, Kennedy said, referring to former Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko.

(10,829 posts)This is about the 4th iteration of where he stands on the matter. Trumpsters must have tightened the screws because the last statement acknowledged that our IC was correct about Russian interference, that the Ukrainian connection was conspiracy.
Rule of Thumb? Republicans cannot be trusted to tell the truth.
