What the heck is Ed Schultz doing at CPAC? [View all]

Perhaps Russia will underwrite a "liberal" pro-Trump, anti-Democratic Party news channel feature Ed Schultz, Jill Stein, Glenn Greenwald and Cornell West with special guest appearances by Susan Sarandon.

It wasn't long ago that Ed Schultz was lashing out at Republicans every night as a firebrand progressive on MSNBC.

On Thursday, he will participate in a panel on trade at the Conservative Political Action Conference -- a gathering he once compared to Nazi Germany.

Schultz, now a host for the Russian-backed media outlet RT, didn't understand why that's confusing.

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.
