Reid claimed the GOP is “advancing Russian goals” in the U.S. after former President Donald Trump complimented Russian President Vladimir Putin’s official recognition of two separatist-controlled territories in Ukraine as independent Tuesday.
“This also marks an ironic pivot for the party that was literally built on decrying Soviet communism, including accusing civil rights leaders of being a fifth column,” Reid said. “Well, it turns out there’s a fifth column, and it’s right inside the Republican Party and their media apparatus which has clearly fallen in love with Russian autocratic kleptocracy and advancing his goals here at home.”
