Mitch McConnell Begs America To Ignore Putin’s Takeover Of The GOP


Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell tried to play off the Putin GOP as a few lonely voices and urged America to ignore them.

Transcript via CBS’s Face The Nation:

MARGARET BRENNAN: You are very clear in your language there, but others in your party have not been. Congresswoman Liz Cheney has said there’s actually a Putin wing of the Republican Party these days. Think she’s referring to Congressman Cawthorn, who called Zelenskyy a thug? Marjorie Taylor Greene said the U.S. should not fund a war the Ukrainians cannot possibly win. Is there any room in the Republican Party for this rhetoric and why isn’t there more discipline?

SEN. MCCONNELL: Well, there’s some lonely voices out there that are in a different place, but looking at Senate Republicans, I can tell you that I would have had I been the Majority Leader put this Ukraine supplemental up by itself. I think virtually every one of my members would have voted for it. The vast majority of the Republican Party writ large, both in the Congress and across the country, are totally behind the Ukrainians and urging the president to do- take these steps quicker. Yeah, to be bolder. So, there may be a few lonely voices off the side. I wouldn’t pay much attention to them.

There Are More Than A Few Lonely Putin GOP Voices

McConnell was urgently trying to minimize the influence of Putin on his party. The former Republican president, Donald Trump called Putin a genius and lavishes praise on the dictator at every opportunity. The top cable news host on Fox News is Tucker Carlson, who pushes Russian propaganda on a nightly basis. Sens. like Josh Hawley and Ron Johnson have been caught spreading pro-Putin propaganda. In the House, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Madison Cawthorn, Thomas Massie, Paul Gosar, Matt Gaetz, and several others have voted in support of Putin.

Rep. Cheney was right. The Republican Party has a Putin wing. Mitch McConnell is afraid that this wing is going to cost him in the midterm election, so he is trying to minimize the influence of Putin on his party.

Mitch McConnell doesn’t want you to notice, but a lot of high-profile Republicans are supporting Putin.

1. K&R, they know that connection is going to hurt them. On mixed aisle forum gop association with Russ

... is something they defend by saying they were just owning the lives for some other we were just kidding BS

The GOP has no answer, time to stuff Putrid in their mouth

[Deep State Witch]

2. So Sayeth Moscow Mitch

[MagickMuffin]

3. Oh MoscowMitch we know you receive millions in Dark Money from Russia with love

I believe there's a Russian oligarch living in your state of Kentucky that gives you lots of campaign grab bags!

[Blue Owl]

4. Eat shit and die, McConnell

[wnylib]

5. Cheney, McConnell, and Trump

Two American oligarchs and one wannabe oligarch fighting each other for control of their party and of the US.

[BlueIdaho]

6. GOPutin Party

Has blood on its hands. Period.

[cstanleytech]

7. That's rich coming from Moscow Mitch.

[Evolve Dammit]

8. FU Moscow Mitch. Make another deal with the Ruski aluminum oligarch. n/t

[BigmanPigman]

10. Ha! That's what I said when I read the OP.

"Fuck you" over and over again spewed forth from my mouth.

Dems must use this to win the midterms hands down. Mitch must already understand this and that is why he is suddenly reversing course. During the midterms the Dems need to make very clear that the GQP has supported Putin with and without their Dear Leader. The GQP needs to be hung out to dry. I hope the Dems don't allow this possible win by the GQP come Nov.

FUCK YOU MITCH!!! You have been dealing with the devil your entire political career. I hope Mitch falls like Putin will. A corrupt, hate filled, greedy hypocrite. Go directly to Hell, do NOT pass GO and collect $200. Fuck you a million times.

[Evolve Dammit]

12. Thank you for the post. The corruption is so blatant and goes unreported. Sick of it.

[BigmanPigman]

14. What REALLY pisses me off is

that the GQP will try to spin their long term involvement with Putin as being nonexistant or no big deal by the GQP majority. Even though we have all of their Pro--Russia positions recorded for posterity...proof of their long term relationship with the Devil, many Americans will not think for themselves and will buy the GQP BS that rewrites history in their favor. People are lazy and are easily manipulated. The GQP knows this all too well.

[Evolve Dammit]

21. It has worked for so many regimes. Goebells and others were masters. Same damn playbook and similar

gullible people feeding at the propaganda trough, without an ounce of critical thinking. He speaks for us, nationalism, etc. And yes, if you pay attention there is a record of their actions in the USA. The MSM ignores it so the average "Joe" never gets it. Easier to listen to AM hate radio and feel a kindred spirit. Consistently remarkable.

[wryter2000]

9. Let me get this right

If he had proposed aid to Ukraine, all the Republicans in the Senate would have voted for it, but because the Democrats proposed it, some Republicans voted against it. Cute.

[uponit7771]

13. +1, that aint gonna fly if dems push it hard. I just think things would be over by then and the

... M$M would be back on GZP stoking fears cause 300 immigrants (who didn't attack America on J6) coming across the border

[FakeNoose]

11. We will NEVER forget!

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

15. Nice try Moscow Mitch

[ColinC]

16. "Moscow Mitch" will be especially potent this cycle, I believe.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

17. That gives me incentive to spread that meme everywhere

[NotHardly]

18. Did you hear about the new Russian factories in Mocow Mitches state ... true colors showing

... chickens coming home to roost and their murderous billionaire oligarchs money laundering election interference ... Nothing to worry about Mitch, we all know what you are... you and your little minions in the House and Senate.

Traitor... you all are traitors and your cover is blown.

[calimary]

19. Talk is cheap, Mitch.

And why should we believe you when your precious party has raised lying and deceit and other cheating activities to the highest of high arts?

[Orrex]

20. The assholes who'd vote Republican will do so regardless of the GOP's love of Putin

Nothing is more important to them than owning the Libs.

[Kid Berwyn]

22. GOP is Team Trumputin

Organized traitors.

[czarjak]

23. Offsided lonely voices don't deserve attention?

[KS Toronado]

24. Don't believe Moscow Mitch will be getting very many rubles for the midterms

Putler will be spending all his money on guns & ammo instead, R's should be proud it's going toward
their favorite toys.
