Republicans actively destroying meme that they are the "national security"-party.

16 out of 17 US intelligence agencies say "Russia manipulated the outcome of the US elections".


The Democrats' response:
"Outrage! Investigations!"


The Republicans' response:


Donald Trump, President-elect:
"Don't believe it. US intelligence agencies are incompetent. Ignore it. Move along. Nothing to see here."

Paul Ryan, Speaker of the House:
"I think foreign meddling would be bad in theory, but I'm not saying anything about the actual real-life issue happening right now. I don't want to voice an opinion that could upset anybody."

Devin Nunes, Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, member of the Trump transition-team:
"This is very, very serious. But unlike the 8 Benghazi-commitees, we will need only one investigation and one investigation only: The one headed by me."
