Putting politics ahead of security

Posted August 10, 2019 1:00 am

I am baffled and greatly concerned regarding you Mitch McConnell and the Republican effort repeatedly to defeat funding designed to bolster our cyber security defense against Russian interference in our elections. This failure to protect our elections is an open invitation, as Trump says he welcomes for Russia to continue their support on his behalf.

Shame on you, Mr. McConnell, and Republicans for putting Donald Trump's political interests ahead of the safety of the United States of America. If you think your desertion of American security in support of Putin and Trump lies is good for America, then it is time for you and your ilk to resign.

My only conclusion is that it appears Mr. McConnell and his party have become so tainted with Trumpism that they are no longer capable of making decisions to protect our country.
