Trump supporter okay with Russian collusion BECAUSE the liberal media wouldnt take down Clinton

Miranda Seymour agreed, telling CNN she has no problem with Trump once suggesting Russia should find and release former rival Hillary Clinton’s emails from her private server.

“I think that all of our superpowers in the world interfere with everybody’s elections, and if by bringing out emails for someone as evil as Hillary not being president, by all means bring it out,” Seymour argued.

She added it was “absolutely” okay that Trump asked for Russia to hack Clinton’s emails.

“Absolutely, because it’s the truth,” Seymour argued. “I feel like our media is liberal in the United States, if our people aren’t going to do it, let’s let Russia do it for us.”

There will always be idiots who say idiotic things. Unfortunately, our 21st century media filters fail us, over and over, and idiots like Seymour get elevated to the status of media pundit.

And it's the point that the right-wing media have been pushing:

Liberalism (most especially the "liberal" media) and the Democratic Party are the ultimate enemy. Not China, not Russia, not North Korea. So to consumers of right-wing media, Russians are preferable and more "patriotic" than their own fellow Americans. They've been listening to this demonization of the left for 3 decades now.
