Former GOP congressman tells MSNBC that Republicans are 'being used by Russia'

Former GOP lawmaker David Jolly charged that Republicans in Congress today are essentially"being used by Russia" because they don't want to acknowledge the truth.The Last Word"Through their own ignorance, negligence or maleficence, they are being used by Russia," Jolly said."Republican senators and Republican members of Congress tonight are being used by Russia because they are unwilling to look at the truth.

Taylor, the top American diplomat in Ukraine, told lawmakers that there was no good reason for Trump to temporarily block nearly $400 million in military assistance to the nation except for wanting to pressure them to help with his political campaign. House Democrats launched the impeachment probe in late September following reports that Trump tried to pressure Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter. Trump temporarily withheld nearly $400 million in military assistance to Ukraine to get the country to follow through with his request, according to multiple reports.

"Lindsey Graham wouldn't have tolerated it, John McCain wouldn't have tolerated it, people like you wouldn't have tolerated it," the MSNBC host said.

I am glad a Republican said this at last! As a former Republican I thought it obvious but current republicans see clueless

The amount of bullshit being generated by the need to attack Russia is quite incredible. Who would have believed that grown men & women could wet there underwear with such frequency over totally unsubstantiated hearsay?

The GOP knows they're being used by Russia and THEY LIKE IT. MoscowMitch, LindseyGrahamIsACoward, DevinNunes and the rest of the Republishit congress would sell their children into child slavery if commanded by Russia.

There is something very wrong with Trump, GOP, FOX and all Trump admin people and their Russian entanglements. Not too long ago they'd all be jailed for aiding a foreign enemy... Now they insult US war heros and pardon US military murderers and rapists

Ask him if he knew they blocked it, they didn’t !

Unfortunate that only a few, like Tulsi Gabbard, will call out the CIA and Military Industrial Complex using MSNBC/CNN/WaPo as outlets for pro-war propaganda. Has Newsweek worked with any American intelligence agencies?

SharonCoryell3 No shit Sherlock! All Republican roads lead to Putin's Russia! Republicans behavior is in self-preservation mode!

It’s odd that everyone else can see that Republicans allowed themselves to be encapsulated in a Trump bubble-When that bubble finally pops & these GOPers wonder why, perhaps they will realize that they have allowed the Repub Party to be hijacked by Trump & they are his puppets.

Yeah, we know!

No surprise there. Perhaps it has something to do with the campaign funds & help they get from Putin's oligarchs.
