Liz Cheney nails the truth about 'the Putin wing of the GOP'

[Zorro]

Is there a “Putin wing of the GOP”?

Rep. Liz Cheney says so. The Wyoming Republican made the charge this weekend, in reference to a former Trump administration official who openly sided with Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.

Few Republicans are in that camp, of course. Most have roundly condemned Putin’s invasion and support aggressive actions against Russia in response.

But Cheney’s formulation captures something essential about today’s GOP in a deeper sense. Cheney stands for the proposition that the Republican Party must fundamentally and permanently repudiate Donald Trump’s embrace of Putin if it is to take an off-ramp from the radicalization of the Trump years.

Many Republicans are not willing to do this, and continue to hand-wave away the fact that as president, Trump sided with Putin against Ukraine, against the West and against democracy. In this sense, Cheney has captured a crucial truth about this moment.

1. Boy! Is this sentence bullshit or what?

Few Republicans are in that camp, of course. Most have roundly condemned Putin’s invasion and support aggressive actions against Russia in response.

Seems to me the entire fux nooz crowd is pro russia.

2. It happens all the time

The “normal” republicans or conservatives are critical of one or more of their own

In such statements are one or two other comments:
1. But most are okay.
2. And Dems are bad.

3. True that!

They insinuate the Dems are bad at every turn. It's been going on since Reagan.
