State TV goes full fascist

If you thought there was a chance they had some shred of decency left, think again:
That was quick: Laura Ingraham goes right at LTC Vindman being a Soviet refugee of Ukrainian origin; John Yoo then says LTC Vindman may be guilty of espionage https://t.co/bht402n9QP— David Burbach (@dburbach) October 29, 2019
They’re talking about a decorated officer and expert on Ukraine and Russia on the National Security Council. He emigrated to the US when he was three years old.
They are saying that he’s a traitor because he’s testifying against the Trump-Giuliani line before the congress. The sad thing is that I knew this was where it was going to go the minute I read that the guy was an immigrant who speaks Russian and Ukrainian. They are nothing if not predictable.
Looks like it’s the official GOP talking point:
Remarkable how quickly gop is moving toward accusing this guy of being a traitor or even a spy. Accusation was explicit last night on Fox, sort of soft hint from cnns house GOPr. https://t.co/bEhyuKus30— Josh Marshall (@joshtpm) October 29, 2019
