which republicans are pro-russia?
All of them.
And their children. And grandchildren. Also their car inspectors.
you'll forgive me for asking for some kind of proof.
Follow the bread crumbs. Every Republican policy benefits Russia. There was the team of traitors that went over and met with Putin on the 4th of July. It was proven that Russia aided the Trump campaign. No Republicans stood up against it or called it out for what it is. Knowing all of that and then supporting and actively still trying to write policy that hurts America and helps Russia man's all Republicans are Russian supporting traitors.
this is conjecture. i was hoping for something more concrete.
You won't find anything concrete with your head so far in the sand.
this, also, is not evidence: it's rhetorical posturing
Here you go.
I don't care what the talking head have to say. as for the elected people, I think it's hard to call their statements pro-russia. at least, if these are the most damning, I would not conclude they are pro-russia.
I'd like to hear what they have to say about Russia, not just Russia's relationship with Ukraine.
Yes.
The ones that take Russian money.
is there a list of them?
https://accountability.gop/ukraine-quotes/
If there was a "list" you'd ignore it anyways, stop acting like you can be swayed by evidence
the list is just one step. once there is a list of accused, i'd want to see the evidence.
of course i can be swayed by evidence, but the ukraine quotes you provided are not very convincing, and many of them aren't even from people in government.
I'm sure some sites have a list, they have not been very secretive about it.
I've been following this from around 2018, you don't need to read many articles about the gop to see the pattern between the politicians and their handlers.
Yes you don't trust anecdotal evidence and all that, so if you can be bothered go and find the real dirt on gop, or don't I'm not your boss.
I don't need to build their case for them. I'm justified in doubting them without clear evidence.
Fair enough, but it's hard to present clear evidence when dealing with kompromized individuals. And pootin is an expert in keeping things hidden.
Please play some role reversal here - given the above, what evidence could be presented to make a convincing case?
I'll give a starter: an FBI investigation of the presumably kompromized.
I'm sorry, this reads like maccarthyist russophobia through and through. if someone supports Russia, they can just say that. none of them did.
