Marco Rubio Brushes Off MAGA Role in Huge Russian Disinfo Plot

Sunday, September 08, 2024

Senator Marco Rubio doesn't think that Russia paying off right-wing influencers is a big deal.

"Rubio is joining his fellow conservatives in defending the commentators at Tenet Media, which the DOJ revealed Wednesday was secretly funded by Russian state media employees in "a scheme to create and distribute content to U.S. audiences with hidden Russian government messaging."

These influencers included Tim Pool, Dave Rubin, Lauren Chen, and Benny Johnson. One right-wing media organization, Blaze Media, has already fired Chen as a result of the indictment."

Once you've defended Traitor Trump, defending Vlad the Invader is easy.

So, Sen Rubio seems to be defending Pres Putin's influence in our politics.

Why?

Little Marco wants to be Castro but no one outside of Florida takes him seriously.

He's thirsty for power.

@#4 ... He's thirsty for power. ...

OK, at this point, I have to ask...

How many other Republicans have appeared to (I'll be kind) kiss up to Pres Putin for similar goal?

No, Marco, they're participating collaborators.

And your party is addicted to foreign money.

So sad.

Marco Rubio, like all Florida Republicants, is trash.

Follow the money. Rubio is a among top recipients of NRA money, aka Putin's cash cleaners.

Another upstanding American patriot has spoken. Be sure to keep your address updated Mario, so when trump initiates his big deportation plan he knows where to find you.

If it's no big deal then they can all donate their ill gotten gains to the homeless to show their remorse.

The Republicans defending this are paid to defend this.

Dan Bongino is telling folks not to talk to the Feds.

Patriots all, no doubt.

"Marco Rubio, like all Florida Republicants, is crazy trash." FTFY!

Rubio is right to blow this off.

It's the same playbook going back to 2016.

It's stupid.

You know what momma says about stupid don't ya?

Are both you and Rubio ignoring the Senate Intelligence Committee report? The one he helped create and applauded?

Far from a hoax, as so often claimed, the report reveals how the Trump campaign willingly engaged with Russian operatives implementing the influence effort.

The DOJ discovered at least 140 contacts between the Trump campaign and Russian nationals. Both Russians and Americans were indicted, some of whom are in jail today.

How many contacts have you had with Russian Nationals?

"Are both you and Rubio ignoring the Senate Intelligence Committee report? The one he helped create..."

To recap---:

Slurpers: Russia was a hoax.

Republicans: Nah, Team Trump met with Russians over 140 times.

Slurpers: No Collusion!

Republicans: Not for lack of trying.

Slurpers: Russia! Russia! Russia!

Republicans: No, really. We Republicans concluded it was a "grave security threat".

Slurpers: ...(crickets)

Slurpers: Fake News!
