House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul is the latest to point out such a problem in his party
They have such nice subways and grocery stores in Moscow. Much better than the US.

I’m just now learning of newsguard and this is the second post I’ve seen of it - I love it.
Has it infected them (implying it’s against their conscious will) or are they willing hosts?
(We all know the answer, just phrasing it as a hypothetical)
These elected officials are not stupid, as much as they claim ignorance about everything anti-American they’ve done. Many went to top-tier schools as legacies without applying and have law degrees; it’s hard to claim “oops I voted against my constituents again” when they definitely know better.
Except Bobert. She took three tries to get a GED and apparently only achieved it while campaigning. She dumb.
But did you see her in that dress in the theater?
That’s the part of my male brain I hate. Everything about her is vile to me, but still seeing her in the dress made my think - unga-bunga!
Someone can intentionally infect themselves and it is still an infection.
I consider that “willing host” though, but yeah, you’re right.
Willing hosts are just those who don’t fight the infection, and further the spread by choice.
He said gop base.
I think it’s the party as well, but he said base.
Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Tex.) — none other than the GOP chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee — flat-out said that Russian propaganda had “infected a good chunk of my party’s base.”
McCaul suggested conservative media was to blame.
“There are some more nighttime entertainment shows that seem to spin, like, I see the Russian propaganda in some of it — and it’s almost identical [to what they’re saying on Russian state television] — on our airwaves,” McCaul said.
He also cited “these people that read various conspiracy-theory outlets that are just not accurate, and they actually model Russian propaganda.”
Republicans are an existential threat. But somehow we’re like the dog in the burning house comic.
Done gradually, an exhausted and distracted population will never stand against their rights being filed away. This is late stage bullshit.
Well, at least he’s honest about it.
It makes sense politically. GOP’s politics are pretty much identical to those of United Russia. But letting this seep into geopolitical issues is treasonous.
