Trump Chooses Putin Over U.S. Intelligence; Do Kemp and Cagle?
GEORGIA – In the past several days, President Trump attacked our NATO allies, insulted Germany’s Chancellor and Britain’s Prime Minister, blamed a former president for Russia’s invasion of Crimea, and described the European Union as one of America’s ‘foes’.
But yesterday, Donald Trump made his most stunning proclamation regarding Russian interference in the 2016 presidential elections:
“My people came to me, Dan Coates, came to me and some others they said they think it’s Russia. I have President Putin. He just said it’s not Russia.
“I will say this: I don’t see any reason why it would be. But I really do want to see the server but I have, I have confidence in both parties.”
“It sounded like Charlottesville when he blamed both the Neo-Nazi protesters and the activists who stood against them.” said Democratic Party of Georgia Chair DuBose Porter. “President Trump spent the day attacking our own institutions while praising Vladimir Putin. He equated our own intelligence agencies with Russian spies and said he has ‘confidence in both.’”
“Georgia has two Republicans running for Governor that are clamoring for President Trump’s endorsement. Does their loyalty include throwing American intelligence agencies under the bus? Do they agree with Trump that we should have confidence in both?”
“That’s a disaster for Georgia, a disaster for America and a solid victory for Putin and the Russian government.”
