That seems to be what Trump and his base are suggesting by trying to divert attention and point fingers at every Democrat who has ever come in contact with a Russian. Are you buying it?
TRUMP: "We should start an immediate investigation into @SenSchumer and his ties to Russia and Putin. A total hypocrite!"
President Donald Trump attempted to call out Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Friday by highlighting a meeting over a decade ago between Schumer and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Trump tweeted the image after it appeared in a Reddit thread Thursday and was shared by a number of conservative pundits, including an editor-at-large for Infowars.com, a site thatpromotes conspiracy theories. The picture also appeared on Gateway Pundit, which has also promoted conspiracies, as well as on conservative site, The Drudge Report.
The photo appears to be from 2003, when Putin made a public appearance at a New York City gas station that had recently been bought by Russia’s Lukoil. Schumer responded to Trump by highlighting the absurdity of his comparison, noting that Sessions denied having contact with Russia’s ambassador while he was under oath.
FROM THE ALT-RIGHT SWAMP TO THE PRESIDENT’S MOUTH!
