Yep, all of the 'RATs and the three RINOs voted against Pete because he thinks NATO is taking advantage of the USA. They just can't say that so they have to go with the dirty tricks.
An open discussion of NATO would leave most Americans scratching their heads.
We signed a treaty with Europe to jointly protect ourselves from the evil Soviet Union. The Soviet Union no longer exists, but the US is still paying the entirety of the cost for NATO to protect us from a non-existent threat.
Then to top it all off, two of the biggest threats from the former Soviet Union are fighting each other and we are completely funding one of the former Soviet states in that war.
Try explaining that to someone born after the fall of the Soviet Union.
