Republican Senator John Neely Doofus Kennedy just walked back a comment he'd made earlier on FOX "News," that nobody knows who hacked the DNC server in 2016, Russia or Ukraine. "I was wrong...it was Russia to tried to hack the DNC computer," he said.
It's not clear why Senator Doofus suddenly realized that the truth would set him free. But there's something super-weird going on with Republicans and Russia.
Why is the party of Ronald Reagan on Russia's side?
In case you're about to make the argument that they want to win the 2020 election and don't care if it has to be done with Vladimir Putin's help, think again. Russia is attacking far more than "just" our elections. Here's a case in point:
"Russian hackers are holding hostage data
from a Milwaukee-based company that provides technology services to
more than 100 nursing homes across the country after the company
couldn't afford a $14 million ransom demand," The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
"The
hack against Virtual Care Provider Inc., which provides internet
security and data storage services to nursing homes and acute-care
facilities, means that some locations cannot access patient records, use
the internet, pay employees or order crucial medications....Some affected facilities could be forced out of business, and patients' health is at risk if the data is not accessible."
The hackers apparently screwed up, thinking that Virtual Care Provider was a big corporation that could easily fork over zillions. But in reality, the company is much smaller, and a ransom of that size is out of the question. So everybody's stuck. The crooks can't get their money, and the victims can't get their data.
We already know that Republicans don't care about Americans' health, thanks to their relentless attacks on the Affordable Care Act. But you'd think that they'd care about companies being attacked and jobs lost. Because that's what's happening here.
Will somebody please explain why so many Republicans are silent on Russia? Where is Senator Ron Johnson (R-Wisconsin) on this one? (Oh! Johnson spent a recent July 4 in Moscow, didn't he?) Where's the Wisconsin Congressional delegation? Why is the GOP standing silently by while Benedict Donald sells out America to Putin? We cats HISS.
