Who would have thought that so many people would believe Senator John McCain (R-AZ) when he accused Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) of working for President Vladimir Putin?
But that is exactly what is happening.
Here is an excerpt from an anti-Trump article that suggests Senator Paul is a Russian agent because he wants to advance peace:
Julia Davis is an expert in Russian propaganda with the Atlantic Council’s Disinformation Portal, who tracks Russian State Media television. On Monday, Davis sent a series of tweets reporting on multiple Russian TV shows admitting their current love affair with Rand Paul…
If you recall the Russian sanctions bill that passed the Senate last July by a vote of 98-2, Paul was one of the two votes against sanctions.Last March, the Senate also passed a bill to allow Montenegro to join NATO. Once again, Paul was one of the two “no” votes and blocked the vote for months. If you will recall, keeping Montenegro from joining NATO had long been a priority for Russian President Vladimir Putin. During the Senate vote, Paul actually cited Russian interests saying, “Montenegro in NATO will antagonize Russia while doing nothing to advance US national security.”
Following the Treason Summit between Donald Trump and Putin in Helsinki last month, Rand Paul called out not only the Democrats but also any Republicans who spoke out against Trump taking Putin’s side over that of American intelligence agencies. While praising Trump’s capitulation to Putin, he said anyone disagreeing with Trump was motivated by their “dislike of the president.”
OK.
In the neo-McCarthyite world, you are now a Kremlin agent if you promote peace and call for the end to wars and hostilities.
Yikes.
Is this a case of “Everyone I Don’t Like is a Russian Agent”?
