You should wonder where they come from in this country. In fact, you should worry about what is happening in this country, which has nothing to do with Russia, unless Russia is working in concert with the communists who are securing their control in this nation.

Gee, that would be preposterous. It’s not like all the far left groups in the USA were reporting directly to the Kremlin for most of the 20th century or anything like that.
