Bennet just went there. [View all]

Colorado's Michael Bennet, just exploded in the Senate chamber. He was reacting as a member of the Intelligence Committee to Trump's order to cut off all American intelligence assistance to Ukraine. And he used the GOP's main deity, Ronald Reagan, to call out the republicans who are wanting Trump to be seen as peacemaker, citing RR's theme of "peace through strength". Bennet was rightfully livid. I'm hoping to find a video, well worth watching.

The objection came, not surprisingly, from Thune's bestest sniveller John Barrasso.

Proud to say that Bennet is my senator.

Thanks to generalbetrayus for getting the video:
