You probably have heard that it has been revealed that Donald Chump called Prime Minister Theresa May in the summer of last year to toe Putin’s line and dispute British Intelligence’s estimate that Russia was behind the poisoning of a Russian emigre and his daughter earlier in that year.
The Guardian wrote about it...
“Donald Trump disputed that Russia was behind the attempted murder of a former Russian spy in a tense call with Theresa May, it has emerged.
Despite the widespread conclusion that Vladimir Putin’s regime was behind the poisoning of Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia last year, the US president is said to have spent 10 minutes expressing his doubts about Russian involvement.
Acorrding to the Washington Post, Trump “harangued” May about Britain’s contribution to Nato in a phone call with Britain’s then prime minister in the summer of last year, before disputing Russian involvement in the Skripal case.
“Trump totally bought into the idea there was credible doubt about the poisoning,” said a figure briefed on the call. “A solid 10 minutes of the conversation is spent with May saying it’s highly likely and him saying he’s not sure.”
Well, they read the Guardian at the Russian Embassy too, and, after popping the champagne corks, they send out the following tweet, as commented upon by the intrepid Molly Jong-Fast:
I think incidents like this should be added to the articles of impeachment. I am not going to write the T word so as not to encourage a thread jack by the “T means one thing and one thing only despite the “or” thrown in by the founders” crowd.
But if repeating and bolstering the enemy’s talking points to gaslight a trusted ally isn’t giving aid and comfort, I guess I don’t know what is.
It’s as if FDR had called up Churchill and said Hitler had told him those bombs falling on London were the French getting payback for abandoning them at Dunkirk.
When will Republican lawmakers realize how dangerous this is?
