Democrats have a long history of ties to Russia and the old Soviet Union or USSR. For decades they’ve supported communism, a system of government antithetical to the U.S. Constitution and American values of freedom and free enterprise.

Yet, since the election of Donald Trump, Democrats have put on the facade of being anti-Russia — it’s a big hoax.

Remember, it was Democrat icon Teddy Kennedy who actually did “collude” with the Russians, asking for their help in stopping Ronald Reagan’s 1984 re-election. More recently, it was America’s first Marxist president, Obama, who promised “more flexibility” for Vladimir after his then-upcoming 2012 re-election.

They were shameful acts of disloyalty to America that the incurious Democrat Media Complex had zero interest in investigating. Yet, “Trump-Russia, Trump-Russia!” goes the mantra on leftist “news” outlets like CNN and MSNBC with no evidence whatsoever.

On Friday, in an MSNBC interview, Democrat Senator [score]Dick Durbin[/score] (Commie – IL) let his true loyalties show as he praised Russian strongman Vladimir Putin while at the same time trashing American President Donald Trump all while the two world leaders were meeting for the first time.

As you see below, Durbin, who curiously has long ties to Communist Party USA member Bea Lumpkin, praised Putin for “his knowledge of history” and for his ability to know “how to meet with foreign leaders and to push his agenda,” qualities he said Donald Trump lacked.

Durbin also lauded Putin as an ex-KGB agent for knowing the intelligence agencies of Russia while accusing Trump of tending to “deride his own intelligence agencies.”

“So he’s in a strong hand in this negotiation compared to our president,” Durbin summarized.
