'Morning Joe' Cuts Off Pro-Russia Congressman's Mic in Completely Off-The-Rails Interview

by Alex Griswold | 9:46 am, December 13th, 2016

Republican California congressman Dana Rohrabacher, best known for his stridently pro-Russian foreign policy and derided by critics as “Putin’s favorite congressman,” went on MSNBC’s Morning Joe to explosive results Tuesday.

The interview immediately turned contentious when host Joe Scarborough started by asking Rohrabacher why the United States was doing nothing while Russia and Syria slaughtered the Syrian people. “Well that’s a question that’s based on false premises,” Rohrabacher replied.

“No it’s not! No it’s not!” insisted Scarborough.

After a few rounds of shouting over each other, Rohrabacher threatened to bail on the interview. “Are you going to let me answer? Goodbye!” he said, beginning to take out his earbud. “Goodbye, if you’re not going to let me say anything, it’s goodbye!”

It's a pretty big plot and we see a lot of traitors in the RePutin Party.
