The phony, lying, slime ball, Left continue alleging "Trump-Russia collusion". Truth is, Russia is in bed with the far left here and abroad! They are in the same camp with the Socialist/Communist wing of the Democrat Party and radical left groups here in the US, such as so-called "Black Lives Matter"!

The Links Between Black Lives Matter and Nicolas Maduro Revealed
PanAm Post ^ | June 23, 2020 | PanAm Post Staff[excerpt]
"...while Black Lives Matter claim to oppose police abuse and racism around the world, the organization is simultaneously a great supporter of some of the world’s most brutal and repressive dictators. In particular, the founders of BLM have been staunch supporters and allies of the sanguinary Venezuela dictator Nicolas Maduro and of the Castro regime in Cuba.
In December 2015 Black Lives Matter sent a delegation, headed by the organization's co-founder, Opal Tometi, to act as observers during the Venezuelan Parliamentary elections of that year. The Maduro regime did not allow accreditation for observers from the Organization of American States, the UN, or the EU. The only accredited observers where from regimes and organizations friendly to the "revolutionary cause."
Later that same month Tometi penned an article where she espouses, word for word, the regime's standard text for international propaganda.
"In these last 17 years, we have witnessed the Bolivarian Revolution champion participatory democracy and construct a fair, transparent election system recognized as among the best in the world," wrote Tometi about one of the world's most corrupt voting systems in history.
Earlier in 2015 Maduro was given an award at the Afro-descendants Summit" held in Harlem. Maduro was invited at the behest of the Black Lives Matter leadership. ..."
