(10,162 posts)(WaPo, May, 2017) "A month before Donald Trump clinched the Republican nomination, one of his closest allies in Congress, House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, made a politically explosive assertion in a private conversation on Capitol Hill with his fellow GOP leaders: that Trump could be the beneficiary of payments from Russian President Vladimir Putin.
"'Theres two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump,' McCarthy (R-Calif.) said, according to a recording of the June 15, 2016, exchange, which was listened to and verified by The Washington Post. Rep. Dana Rohrabacher is a Californian Republican known in Congress as a fervent defender of Putin and Russia."
As always, this shit just goes down the media memory hole.

And when you hear that you can just assume they are going to place the blame on Democrats.
McCarthy might even be slimier than Ryan, and that's saying something.

2020 and thereafter looks promising for Democrats.
The Republican party is totally crazy.
