Kremlin-funded television station this week broadcast images of Sen. Richard Shelby (R-AL) rubbing shoulders with Vyacheslav Nikonov, the grandson of Joseph Stalins foreign minister.
In a tweet on Tuesday, Russian media analyst Julia Davis first noted that Shelby appeared on VTGRK, a news station funded by the Russian government.
GOP lawmakers requested that their meetings with members of the Russian government proceed in a closed format (no press allowed), Davis wrote. Here is @SenShelby chitchatting with [Vyacheslav Molotovs] grandson, Vyacheslav Nikonov.
Happy #IndependenceDay, she added, later calling Shelbys visit surreal.

Why are these Republicans kissing up to Russia? This is really, really suspicious.

But of course, they did.
I have said many times over the past couple of years: THE GOP IS AWASH IN RUSSIAN MONEY. All of the sputtering and posturing is NOT to protect tRump*, but to attempt to protect themselves.
