Republicans in congress say their party has been hijacked by Russians who utter Putins propaganda in congress
Republican Warns Putin’s Propaganda ‘Being Uttered’ in Congress
Representative Mike Turner, an Ohio Republican who chairs the House Intelligence Committee, told CNN’s Jake Tapper on State of the Union on Sunday that Russian President Vladimir Putin’s propaganda is “being uttered on the House floor.”
It has been a little over two years since Putin launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. The United States has been among Kyiv’s largest backers, but support for sending additional aid to the war-torn country is dwindling among some Republican lawmakers.
Earlier this week, Representative Michael McCaul, a Texas Republican who chairs the House Foreign Affairs Committee, told Puck’s Julia Ioffe: “I think Russian propaganda has made its way into the United States, unfortunately, and it’s infected a good chuck of my party’s base.”
When asked if he agrees with McCaul’s recent comments, Turner said on CNN on Sunday: “It is absolutely true.”
