There are the eight Republicans who went to Moscow during the Fourth of July weekend, paying respects to their new bosses—Sens. Richard Shelby (R-AL), John Kennedy (R-LA), John Hoeven (R-ND), Jerry Moran (R-KS), Steve Daines (R-MT), John Thune (R-SD), Ron Johnson (R-WI) and Rep. Kay Granger (R-TX). No Democrats were invited for obvious reasons. We’re not traitors to our nation.
There are the Republicans who outright defend Russia, unafraid to take our traditional foe’s side over that of our own country.
Then there’s the House Republicans, trying desperately to derail the investigation into Russian interference in our democracy by obstructing the investigation, to the point of wanting to impeach Rod Rosenstein, the Justice Department official in charge of the investigation.
We can all wonder just how different things would look if it was President Hillary Clinton who stood accused of colluding with Russia to obstruct our democracy. Difference is, not only would Republicans be losing their head over this (fun fact: her email server is seemingly the only one that wasn’t hacked by the Russians), but Democrats wouldn’t be defending her at all costs. Heck, all of us here at Daily Kos would be flabbergasted and outraged.
But we aren’t traitors to our country.
Republicans have shown, quite clearly, that they are.
