In Trump's Ohio bastion, supporters dismiss uproar over Donald Jr.

LITTLE HOCKING, Ohio (Reuters) - While revelations that Donald Trump Jr. welcomed Russian help in last year's presidential election roil Washington, asking about it along southern Ohio's Appalachian Highway can draw some pretty strange looks.

In the mostly rural, heavily Baptist and predominately Trump-supporting terrain, the collective reaction ranges from ignorance about the Russia investigation, to a belief that some media want to destroy Republican President Donald Trump and his family, to complete disinterest.

Many of the 20 people interviewed in several Ohio towns were dismissive of the barrage of headlines about a June 2016 meeting between Trump's eldest son Donald Jr. and a woman he was told was a Russian government lawyer who might have damaging information about Democratic election rival Hillary Clinton.

The revelation was made when Trump Jr. released a series of emails on Tuesday amid investigations of U.S. intelligence agency conclusions that Moscow sought to help Trump win. Russia has denied allegations of interfering in the election and Trump has denied his campaign colluded with Russian officials, sometimes dismissing the notion as "fake news."

No one that supports Trump gives a damn about this.

I’m barely following it, and by barely I mean I’ve lost interest yesterday.

Nobody outside the beltway or the news room is paying any attention to this Russian stuff. The average american is sick of hearing about it.

He was a private citizen trying to help win an election that he had no chance of winning, because Hillary had already won it, according to the news media. Now their incredulity is being strained to the breaking point, and they are desperately flailing about in darkness, lashing out at every noise, every shadow. I laugh at their futility.

Just like Fake News the uproar is fake, created by the same corrupt swamp defenders.

Because the “UPROAR,” is entirely a fiction created by an incredibly biased media, and the vast majority realizes it.

This article reads like someone asking, “ Why aren’t these Midwest schmucks buying into our bullschit, anymore? It worked with Bush!”

The blatant efforts of the DC establishment (deep state) to remove trump, and the asinine, corrupt behavior of the media are simply hardening opinions on both sides.

There are many leftist ideologues who will believe Russia-gate to the bitter end - but for the rest of Americans, it is just a clown show exhibit, proving corruption of our institutions
