Showing Original Post only (View all)What the heck is Ed Schultz doing at CPAC? [View all]

On a December broadcast of his program on RT, Schultz said derisively that allegations of Russian hacking during the American election had become "a lifeline for Clinton supporters in an effort to reverse the outcome of the election." The story, he said, "has entered the arena of the outrageous." And last month, Schultz said he was encouraged that Trump had opened the door toward a "a positive relationship" with Russia.
