Mike Turner: Russian Propaganda on Ukraine Is Infecting GOP
Breitbart ^ | 04/07/2024 | Pam Key

Posted on 04/07/2024 7:34:28 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Representative Mike Turner (R-OH) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that Russian propaganda has “absolutely” infected the Republican base.

Anchor Jake Tapper said, “Let’s turn to Ukraine, an issue that’s important to you and your fellow Republican Chairman, Michael McCaul, who runs the form refers committee. Congressman McCaul made a comment this week about what he says sounds like Russian propaganda from some conservative media. Why it’s so difficult to explain to Republican voters why supporting Ukraine is important. He said, “I think Russian propaganda has made its way into the United States, unfortunately, and it’s infected a good chunk of my party’s base. He singled out primetime shows on conservative channels. Do you agree with him and how big is this problem?”

Someone needs to point out to Trump that the biggest winner if Ukraine loses will be China. Russia is a gigantic depo for natural resources that end up ⬆️ n China.

Some more gems from wikipedia:

“Turner voted for the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2020 which authorizes DHS to nearly double the available H-2B visas for the remainder of FY 2020.[43][44]

Turner voted for the Consolidated Appropriations Act (H.R. 1158) which effectively prohibits ICE from cooperating with Health and Human Services to detain or remove illegal alien sponsors of unaccompanied alien children (UACs).[45]”

“In April 2019, Citizens Against Government Waste named Turner the “Porker of the Month”[71] for leading the effort to “spend more taxpayer dollars on the most expensive weapons system in U.S. history”, the F-35 program. This designation came in recognition for his continued support for expansion[72] of the program, which had already been in development for 17 years, was seven years behind schedule, and was nearly $200 billion over budget.[73] In March, Air Force Secretary Heather Wilson raised concerns[74] about the soaring expense, saying, “we just don’t think that there has been enough attention on the sustainment costs of the aircraft and driving them down.” This criticism added to the existing House Armed Services Committee report[75] from 2018 stating that the F-35 “may not have the range it needs to strike enemy targets” and that “the Joint Strike Fighter initiative, the most expensive weapons program in history, may actually have been out of date years ago.””

This is how the GOP will lose the election. It is rotten to the core that a prostitute scumbag like this has a position of power.

Whatever, even Trump has to be careful with the crazy isolationist base.
If Trump becomes president, he’s not going to hand Ukraine over to Russia. Trump doesn’t think that way.
I’m sure Trump plans to threaten both sides to end the war, I have no idea how that will work out.
If it’s Trump doing it, I have confidence in his solution.

If Ukraine is lost because Republicans blocked aid, it Would be a political disaster for the GOP.

++++++++

This sounds very much like - The republicans are responsible for the border crisis because they didn’t accept the bi-partisan bill the senate passed. (you remember the bill that allowed 5000 illegals invasion PER day as A-OK as a baseline??)

I ALWAYS go back to a simple theorem:

If pelosi, schumer, durbin, hillary, biden, are for something I am 99.99% sure to be on the right side by opposing their consensus. And now you can throw in a few repukes to the theorem - mcconnell, lindsey, romney, others...

“We desperately need the bases in Afghanistan and Vietnam to counter China now,”

It never stops. Now bases in Afghanistan are a “desperate need” for America? LOL? And bases in Vietnam? To do what? Protect Vietnamese offshore oil claims? And Bush punked out on a decades war with Iraq?

It never ends with the DC war crowd. They love the cash an profits. And they string along normal people with stadium flyovers and movies, and they laugh about how easy it is. It’s a sicko war fetish.

There we go, every war was a lie. I remember when many of you extended that to at least WW2.

These wars aren’t lies. The only one in which we were not responding to an invader, was Iraq.

The worst totally unnecessary betrayal of allies was Southeast Asia.

No, the Biden regime and Deep State and Justin Trudeau are the experts in lying.

What is absurd about you is that think they are telling the truth about this war when they lie about everything else.

Bagram was our closest base to China.

And before that the huge base at Cam Rahn Bay.

This is reality while you sit at home asking “what for? “

It looks like we have a quorum of Biden's pet Zeepers on this thread. Again, I ask you to please explain the successes of the "Great Spring Summer Fall Winter Spring Offensive" if you can.

When the spring mud dries in the Ukraine the Russians will roll West and there will be great lamentations from the globohomos.

So here comes the resident Russian propagandist to deny the influence of Russian propaganda.

Tragic.
