House intelligence chair says Republicans are ‘absolutely’ repeating Russian propaganda
Mike Turner, the Ohio Republican, echoes a similar claim made recently by another rightwing American lawmaker
Duh. Now can we do something about it?
WILLINGLY
They've been willingly regurgitating Russian Propaganda direct from the Kremlin for a very long time.
Because they're traitors.
I think the simplest explanation here is that they're getting it from their voters....who are getting it from Russian propaganda, but they just don't care so long as they get reelected.
The simplest answer is that they are getting it from Russian Propagandists. They repeat it because it riles their base and gets them engagement.
honestly they just seem to wanna pull another kissinger, no matter the cost
Of course they are. Did we not see the old FOX news host literally go over to Russia to interview Putin and lap up every last bit of propaganda he fed him? They've been on Russian propaganda for years now.
Keeping saying it out loud. Who is saying the Russian propaganda too?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Mike Turner, the chairperson of the US House intelligence committee, says some of his fellow Republicans are “absolutely” repeating Russian propaganda on the chamber floor, echoing a similar claim made recently by another rightwing American lawmaker.
“It is absolutely true we see, directly coming from Russia, attempts to mask communications that are anti-Ukraine and pro-Russia messages, some of which we even hear being uttered on the House floor,” the Ohio congressman told CNN’s State of the Union show.
His comments Sunday came days after Michael McCaul, chairman of the House foreign affairs committee, told Puck News that misinformation in favor of Russian interests had found a foothold among his fellow Republicans.
Both Turner and McCaul in their respective interviews suggested that pro-Putin propaganda was as hostile to the US’s position on the world stage as the threats posed by the regimes of Xi Jinping, China’s president, and Kim Jong-un, North Korea’s leader.
Though Turner did not single out any members of Congress or his party Sunday, his remarks came after Marjorie Taylor Greene, the far-right Georgia representative, recently filed a motion to oust Mike Johnson from his role as House speaker if the Louisiana Republican moved forward with a Ukraine aid bill.
Turner on Sunday expressed his belief that Johnson was not at “any risk” of having the speaker’s gavel wrested from him by what he called members of the “chaos caucus … who are seeking attention for themselves and trying to stop all of the important work in Congress”.
