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?”

Personally, I don’t see either Russia or Ukraine as better or worse than the other. They are both corrupt, murdering, pieces of crap.

It’s like trying to pick one evil over the other. I refuse to cheer for either one.

Did Gulf of Tonkin take place as the public was told.

Were weapons of mass destruction found in Iraq they way the public was told.

Did we not overthrow the Taliban in a couple of weeks with a small team of Special Forces soldiers, only to remain for 20 years and get told over and over that progress was being made, only to find out it was all a lie.

You are in the small minority, over the last 50-60 years from the 1960s involvement in Vietnam until today, the public has been told countless lies about wars and every other issue, the lies continue to be told and the public isn’t buying it anymore.

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

Yeah, the American people are clamoring for 100 billion for Ukraine and are really horny for war with Russia. They are ignoring fuel prices, the moral cesspool of DC, the ruthless suppression of political dissent from the DC party. And the American people are barely noticing the 12 million that have poured over the open border.

Nazi Ukraine... THAT’S what really lights them off! lol

Do you have a point?

I wonder, when you go outside do you wear a butt protector because you think the “globohomos” are after you?

I mean the globohomo stuff is beyond childish. The war in Ukraine ain’t about homos that much is certain.

Exactly! But they have to double down, and amp up the rhetoric.

They are now publicly branding 70% + of the nation as “worse than Hitler” and all this utter nonsense. How do they walk that back? What’s next?

Any republican that would show up @CNN, is no republican at all.

Goes triple for those who show up on MSNBC. Michael Steele was never a Republican, but an imposter. Dittos for Nicolle Wallace.

You see my friend I know you can’t walk and chew gum at the same time, so you change the subject.

No one is more angry than me over our Southern border.

That does not mean the United States should forget about foreign matters.

I can assure you that Joe Biden is not going to close the border even if it means Europe is overrun. That’s already been demonstrated.

Biden is evil. That does not mean Europe is unimportant.

In fact, Biden tried to abandon Ukraine and pretty much caused this war just like he abandoned Afghanistan - through weakness.

Yes you childish idiot, it was BIDEN who lost the Bagram base.

But you have to insult people by claiming Biden is their idol.

Why don’t you grow up.

To large degree this issue crosses ideological boundaries like you 70% of the public is totally against US getting directly involved in a war with Russia over Ukraine, nothing good can come from that

Dayton Mayor Mike Turner, America’s real mayor, is the latest lawn jockey for the Deep State.

You didn't answer my question and asked if I have a point. The point was the question. It is to force you clowns to admit that the globohomos are losing.

Again, I ask you to please explain the successes of the "Great Spring Summer Fall Winter Spring Offensive" if you can.

Also, why are you thinking about my butt? You are a dirty little moron, aren't you?

You don’t understand? The greatest threat to American’s freedom is Washington DC authoritarianism. Ukraine is nazi, and DC loves them. Putin has been a thoughtful leader who opposes globohomo, faggotry, woke, and has rebuilt the churches the bolsheviks destroyed.
If he defeats nazi Ukraine, that badly hurts DC and makes them look like the failure they are. And THAT is good for freedom loving legacy Americans.

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.

Well said...the Republicans in Congress are like matadors waving the red cape, while the deficit bulls run amok. They're planning their final grifts before it all comes crashing down around them in a few years. Annual debt service will double the annual defense budget by 2026, and all they have to offer is worthless excuses.

My Congressman, former mayor of Dayton, went to D.C., I think 20 years ago to live in Virginia after getting elected. He married and divorced a muslim lobbyist and has been a good friend of Boehner and company. Turner is a reliable vote for the House GOP establishment and only returns to Ohio every two years to tell the voters that he is the reason that Wright Patterson AFB remains open because he is so loved and respected in Washington. He has no need to even pretend to be anything remotely conservative as he ran unopposed in the primary and his good friends across the aisle always run a nobody to oppose him in the general election. Turner is another Ohio establishment Republican which sadly for a mostly conservative state is all we seem to get. He won’t bad mouth President Trump openly but every once in a while will express his concern that there are extreme elements in the Republican party that are trying to move us in an isolationist direction. He even came on Tucker Carlson’s old show and Tucker brilliantly asked “why do you care about Ukraine so much when there are so many small towns in your state that have no industry anymore since the jobs have gone overseas and fentanyl addiction is killing those folks. There seems to me there is some sort of disconnect here.” Turner of course hemmed & hawed that we need to stand up to Putin and it’s important to preserve the international order in order to save our democracy but never answered the question.
