Schumer Blasts Republican Traitors For Letting Putin Win Instead Of Standing Up To Trump

Republicans keep blocking election security bills in the Senate, and now we know why:

They’d rather let Putin win than stand up to President Trump.https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/20/us/politics/russian-interference-trump-democrats.html



Sen. Schumer is calling out Republicans for betraying their own country because they are so afraid of Donald Trump that they would rather sell the nation out to Russia in order to spare themselves from a potentially nasty tweet from Trump.
<snip>

The responsibility for the threat to democracy who is sitting in the Oval Office solely belongs to the Republican Party. By refusing to stand up to Trump, Senate Republicans are accessories to a crime against America. - PoliticusUSA

So what you going to do about it? I can tell you the republicans are not going lift one finger so stop trying to shame them. They don’t have any. Neither do their stupid voters. Democrats must band together like never before, show up in numbers like never before, and kick the orange thug out of the White House forever!

to doubt that myself. Can see our chump in chief saying something to the effect that the elections are going to be tainted so he'll just stay until it's "fixed".

with this issue. Attack the GOP, Putin and tRump first and NOW, then focus on the campaign issues. This is BIG and needs to be all over the US and he has the money to do it.

The media can't possibly hammer this enough. But his repeated ads become practically memorized.

They have the toys, they have the cult. Put them together and you have a sociopathic glue.
