1. ***From Rolling Stone:***

   Republican Rep. Mike Turner accused some of his colleagues of having “uttered” Russian propaganda “on the House floor” amid Vladimir Putin‘s invasion of Ukraine.

   “We see directly coming from Russia attempts to mask communications that are anti-Ukraine and pro-Russia messages, some of which we even hear being uttered on the House floor,” the chair of the House Intelligence Committee told Jake Tapper in an interview that aired Sunday on CNN’s State of the Union.

2. They are just fulfilling their contractual obligation.

3. The republican party is the party of Putin. Never forget that the House spent months on a bogus Biden impeachment only for it to be revealed that their “star witness” was a Russian agent.

   The entire Biden impeachment investigation was Russian propaganda and the US taxpayers paid for it

4. They should all go to Russia if they love it so much.

5. They rather vote for Putin than Biden. Let them all emigrate to Russia.

6. If this was the 50s, they’d be in jail

7. Maybe because they have already been turned

8. Read *Prequel* by Rachel Maddow. This entire Russia/MAGA scenario played out in the 1930s with Nazi Germany/America First. One would hope the US government learned its lesson and there will be consequences for the conspirators this time around, but that doesn’t seem likely.

9. We know

10. “Uttered”?

    That’s underselling it. They proclaim it loudly and proudly.

11. From McCarthyism blaming the left for Russians in the 40-50’s and 80’s to the right fully embracing the Russians now. What a shit show.

12. That should be considered treason!

13. Wonder how many death threats this man is now getting from your Trump loving neighbors and evangelical preachers

14. Remember when Trump floated the idea of getting the Russians to help oversee US elections? He really did.

15. Ok, where were you 4 year ago when everyone else was already saying republicans were lying like never before.

16. That’s because they are being paid off by Russia.

17. Maybe he should stop supporting the Republican Party then

18. Been that way a while, a vote for R is a vote for Russia… if only people would wake up.

19. Majority of these Republicans are Russian assets. Those few Republicans who are truly anti Russia are not saying anything. Scared of MAGA and Trump. I believe that Mitch is a Russian asset. Follow the money.

    Wish John McCain was still here. He would call them out.

20. Uttered? More like chanted

21. The Gang Of Putin likes to see those donations keep rolling in.

22. No shot Sherlock. Been that way for years.

    What will you do? Nothing.

23. Donald Trump has repeatedly uttered how attracted he is to his own daughter and no one gave a shit so I don’t see any opinions changing over this.

24. Which makes them either idiots or foreign agents. Either way they aren’t suitable to be in leadership

25. Trump is a Russian asset and he is the head of the Republican party. They are all bought and paid for.

26. Oh, he’s just noticing now?

27. No shit.

28. Not just uttered. The GOP essentially parrots Putin’s talking points ALL THE TIME. How this is OK with rural America, I don’t know.

29. Lol, “uttered.” Republicans have been *singing* that shit at the top of their lungs for years now. We probably have enough Russian assets “on the House Floor” to form a choir.

30. The Russians are destroying us from within. And the MAGA crowd is cheering them on. This is utterly horrifying.

31. And they’re proud of it and their stance. Sad.

32. This is why I laugh at this “America first” bullshit platform they’re trying to run on.

33. So, expect him to fall out of a window next week?

34. uttered?
    Motherfucker, they are screaming it from the hilltops!!

35. Is it treason yet?
    Or will they plead ignorance and thus unfit for thier job?

36. gop is the puppet of Putin

37. So, what is this toad going to do about it.

38. Do something about it. Get someone to vacate their seat give Dems control of the house before the election.

39. Name and Shame.

    These rats need to be rooted out. Force them into the light of day and let the global media feast on them.

40. Gaetz has cited Chinese propaganda as a source in committee hearings..

41. That’s a nasty remark because it suggests that that is something out of the ordinary, while in fact 95% of GOP positions are aligned with Kremlin policies and are reflecting Russian propaganda.
