You know you have reached peak paranoia when you think every person you disagree with has been compromised by the Russians.
Well, that is exactly what happened on MSNBC on Tuesday.
In an interview with Connecticut Democratic Senator Chris Murphy, political analyst John Heilemann pondered if California Republican Congressman and chairman of the House Intelligence Committee Devin Nunes is really a Russian agent.
“Is it possible that the Republican chairman of the House Intel Committee has been compromised by the Russians?” Heilemann inquired. “Is it possible that we actually have a Russian agent running the House Intel Committee on the Republican side?”
Murphy was stumped, replying, “I hope that’s not the case and I certainly have no information to suggest that it is.”
Heilemann continued:
“Doesn’t his behavior speak of that though? I’m not the first person who’s raised this. He’s behaving like someone who’s compromised and there are people in the intelligence community and others with great expertise in this area who look at him and say, ‘That guy’s been compromised.’”
Huh?
Don’t believe it? Here is the video:
This is as bad as when Arizona Senator John McCain accused Kentucky Senator Rand Paul of working for Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The neo-McCarthyism in the mainstream media is just odd.
