Noam Chomsky Calls Dem Focus on Russia a ‘Huge Gift’...‘...May Have Handed Him the Next Election’

Noam Chomsky, the noted progressive scholar, believes Democrats have focused far too much on Russia. And he thinks it might earn them four more years of President Donald Trump.

Speaking at a forum in Boston with Amy Goodman, Chomsky stated his view that he always believed there was going to be little to no proof of collusion in the Mueller Report.

“[T]he Democrats are helping him,” Chomsky said. “They are. Take the focus on Russia-gate. What’s that all about? I mean, it was pretty obvious at the beginning that you’re not going to find anything very serious about Russian interference in elections.”

He added, “As far as Trump collusion with the Russians, that was never going to amount to anything more than minor corruption, maybe building a Trump hotel in Red Square or something like that, but nothing of any significance.”

Chomsky went on to say that he believes focusing too heavily on Russia may cost Democrats dearly next November.

“The Democrats invested everything in this issue,” Chomsky said. “Well, turned out there was nothing much there. They gave Trump a huge gift. In fact, they may have handed him the next election. … That’s a matter of being so unwilling to deal with fundamental issues, that they’re looking for something on the side that will somehow give political success.”

I saw Chomsky speak twice in college, when I dated a leftist girl.

At the time, his bogeyman was Henry Kissinger. His talks were a confusing hairball of leftist conspiracy theories

i see four reasons why the Dems continue to perpetuate the Russia collusion fiction:

1. the main reason is that it gives the dying lying leftist fakes stream enemedia “newsworthy” excuses to continue their 24x7x365 100% negative campaign of lies and bullshit against President Trump ...

2. the Dems have really got no raison dêtre other than hating and attacking President Trump, except perhaps for their utterly insane, green new deal nonsense, “reparations”, free everything for everybody except of course for we working taxpayer, and raising our taxes through the roof to try to pay for it all ...

3. attacking President Trump is the ONLY thing that unifies the various factions of the Dem Party because it’s practically the only thing they agree upon ... without the “hate-Trump” wrapping of bailing wire the Dem party would fly apart in an explosion of vituperative recrimination and accusation amongst its various factions ...

4. the Dems are also stuck in a rut of attacking President Trump, unable to help themselves by shifting gears,even if they wanted to, which most of them don’t ...
