Full Interview - Chris Wallace Accuses Dem Sen. Coons of ‘More Than a Whiff of McCarthyism’
YouTube ^

On this weekend’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday,” host Chris Wallace questioned Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) over comments he made during an MSNBC interview last Friday where he said that the intelligence community had transcripts of conversations between Russia and the Trump campaign.

After playing the video clip of Coons saying there are transcripts that provide”very critical insights” into whether Russia was “colluding with the Trump campaign,” Wallace asked, “Senator, we’re talking here about the President of the United States, isn’t there more than a whiff of McCarthyism for you as a U.S. Senator to say there are transcripts out there that provide insight into whether or not there was collusion, but you don’t know whether they exist?”

After initially defending his comments as an attempt to encourage the Senate Intelligence Committee to be given access to the raw intelligence, Coons admitted there is no “hard evidence of collusion,” and apologized.

If President Trump and his DOJ don’t soon indict and arrest these criminal democrats, it will eventually be settled in the streets of this country and that is exactly what the democrats and their globalist overlords are working to make happen.

Sen. Joe was right. I hate Communists and socialists with a passion. I watched old news reels and videos on the hearings and saw nothing like a witch hunt. He was 100% accurate and it is even more relevant today. BTW, Coons is a moron and the GOP idiots never produce a real candidate to fill Senate seats from Delaware.

Yes, and with utterly no understanding of those times or the results of his investigations. But they’re also slandering Nixon whose “crime” was nothing more than any 20th/21st century democrat routinely and exemptly perpetrated.

The ‘intelligence community’ has too much time on their hands. The NSA's delusional if they think this is a Police State and that their job is to fight political opponents of democrats. The old KGB had more power because Russia IS a police state... they are totalitarians. We aren't.

They are wrong to act like an agency of a police state...

Intelligence Services either serve the President of the United States - the currently elected person who's in office - or they're traitors. There's no middle ground. On a ship you do the bidding of the captain or you're committing mutiny.

It's time to downsize them... these folks aren't protecting the country - they're not serving the President of the Unite States - - they're protecting their fiefdoms.

I give him credit for going at Coons a little, but Coons still got to direct most of his crap onto Trump and away from Obama.

I have to agree. Wallace ticks me off occasionally as well, but he deserves full credit for calling out this clown.
