President Donald Trump’s refusal to rehash allegations of Kremlin-backed interference in the 2016 presidential election during a joint press conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin Monday incensed Democrat lawmakers and left wing media pundits.
Standing alongside Putin, President Trump steered clear of confrontation with the Russian, while questioning U.S. intelligence and last week’s federal indictments of 12 Russians for hacking into Democratic email accounts to purportedly hurt Hillary Clinton in 2016.“I have great confidence in my intelligence people, but I will tell you that President Putin was extremely strong and powerful in his denial today,” President Trump said following a two hour one-on-one meeting with his Russian counterpart. “He just said it’s not Russia. I will say this: I don’t see any reason why it would be.”
President Trump’s remarks prompted an onslaught of calls for the U.S. to respond to Russia’s alleged meddling, described as an “act of war.”
Leading up to the high stakes meeting between President Trump and Putin, CNN New Day host Chris Cuomo repeatedly accused Russia of “election hacking” to wage war against the U.S. “The big, ugly white elephant in the room will be the U.S. election hacking,” Cuomo speculated. “We’ve been calling it meddling, but I’m trying to stay away from the word because it’s just way too mild.

So, what is Chinese election influence and hacking then??
I want to see the democrats take a vote on a formal declaration of war. Let’s see what happens.
China hacks us more than all other countries combined.
Why is Russia the boogeyman....
Have the Dims drawn up a declaration of war yet?
So CNN governs the war powers act? I failed to catch that amendment in the constitution?
It occurred on Obama’s watch and what did he do about it?
We all knew about this when halfwhitey was president.
Why werent they outraged by this “act of war” then, hmmmmmmmmm???
Before we declare war, can’t we at least ask for the evidence allegedly showing that the Russians actually hacked into something?
The treason was committed by all of the participants and enablers of the Kenyanesian Usurpation.
The Constitution says Obama can’t be President.
He is not a natural born citizen.
He told US he was born a British subject.
Natural born citizens are naturally citizens because they only have one nationality, that’s what makes them natural born citizens.
BOTH parties colluded to violate the Constitution.
Those screaming the loudest are the traitors.
The Left never forgave Russia for abandoning Communism.
The CPUSA’s support of H->! in 2016 is an Act of War.
These people are doing everything possible to get us into a war.
Fuel up some stealth bombers and drop a few bunker busters on those NSA data harvesting and storage facilities. You know, the ones James Clapper says “unwittingly spy on Americans”.
Well, if it’s war...
The left should send in their weapons expert, Creepy Joe Biden and his over-under scatter gun.
That will solve everything.
Do they realize that Russia is the other major nuclear power on Earth? The stockpiles of the other nuclear nations are pretty pitiful compared to us and Russia. We interfere in foreign elections all the time.
Correction:
Hacking DEMOCRATS is an Act of War.
The pathetic irony is that most of these warmongers have not served honorably in our military. Of course, most of have never honorable in their malignant lives.
