By calling what Russia did "meddling" is downplaying the situation. It's an act of war. There are Russian spies on American soil right now trying to interfere in the next election. This is an act of war. The only reason the GOP is silent on this issue is because they are completely complicit in it. If we get back in power, nothing less than a full embargo on Russia. Sanctions aren't enough.
