The biggest tragedy from last night is that Putin must now choose a new favorite Congressman. SAD!

Dana Rohrabacher — ‘Putin’s favorite congressman’ — loses to Democrat Harley Rouda



https://www.rawstory.com/2018/11/dana-rohrabacher-putins-favorite-congressman-loses-democrat-harley-rouda/

Rep. Dana Rohrabacher — infamously known as “Putin’s favorite congressman” — lost his re-election campaign in California.

The Republican lawmaker was narrowly defeated by Democrat Harley Rouda, a real estate executive and former Republican, in the deeply conservative 48th House District.

Rohrabacher has been a staunch supporter of President Donald Trump, and he earned his nickname after using information he got from the Russian government to promote one of Vladimir Putin’s top priorities — removing the name of murdered lawyer Sergei Magnitsky from a sanctions act.
