Why Republicans In Congress Are Not Alarmed By The Trump-Putin Conspiracy?

The Senate Intelligence Committee’s Russia report reveals that President Donald Trump was wrong and former special counsel Robert Mueller was right. Republicans have become a xenophobic, white-nationalist, nominally Christian party, and Putin is a xenophobic figure. A binder containing highly classified information related to Russian election interference went missing at the end of Donald Trump’s presidency, raising alarms. Congress, led by Reps. Jim Jordan and Devin Nunes, parroted a Russian-planted narrative to falsely blame Ukraine for interfering in the election.

The expendability of Ukraine to congressional Republicans originates from the sinister relationship between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin. Pre-Trump, Trump refused to condemn Russia or Putin for their actions. Three conspiracy theories shared by Putin include the claim that Ukraine is an artificial state. Some far-right members of Congress seem to be parroting Putin’s talking points, but anti-Ukraine conspiracy theories can also be homegrown.

A growing isolationist wing of the Republican party appears motivated by Donald Trump, who has repeatedly questioned Russia’s actions towards NATO members. Some far-right members of Congress seem to be parroting Putin’s talking points. There is a scientific explanation for why some people who support Trump also believe conspiracy theories.

Two key GOP chairmen warn about how Russian influence has infected their party. An indictment alleges a media company linked to six conservative influencers was involved in the indictment. Third-party candidates like RFK Jr. and Jill Stein are touting right-wing conspiracy theories, embracing radical policies, and even aiding Vladimir Putin. A rift is emerging in the Republican Party between the pro-Russia right and a group of senior GOP Congress members warning against those pushing the Kremlin.
