Maddow stated:

This one tiny occasion, it was small. It was a bizarre assemblage of Individuals. There have been Proud Boys there. Among the white supremacist teams you’d acknowledge from the Unite The Proper rally in Charlottesville a couple of years in the past. Additionally represented prominently, the stays of the weird Lyndon LaRouche cult. There have been folks with flags together with the previous Soviet Union.

Additionally, at the least one one that visitor hosts for Tucker Carlson on the Fox Information Channel was there as a featured speaker. There have been antivaccine conspiracy theorists, a whole lot of them. There have been cryptocurrency promoters. It was a very bizarre group. It was a small rally and a bizarre one. However that’s what it appears like.
That assemblage of quick straws and break up ends and free electrons that’s advocating on this nation that Russia is in the fitting and America must be on Putin’s aspect as he retains invading different nations. I imply no disrespect to the Individuals who turned out as a part of this small occasion this weekend. However it’s not like they signify a giant constituency that’s arguing for this pro-Russia standpoint.

Whereas this occurred this weekend, whereas president Biden was heading to Kyiv secretly, as soon as he acquired there right this moment and we discovered that he had made the journey to Kyiv. Not less than one pro-Trump member of congress who occurs to have a seat on the Homeland Safety Committee known as for him to be impeached for having gone to Ukraine. Different pro-Trump members of congress stated it was a shame and a disgrace and the way dare president Biden go to Ukraine right this moment. Florida governor Ron DeSantis, who needs the run for president, apparently he went on the Fox Information Channel this morning and stated President Biden was mistaken to go and we shouldn’t be supporting Ukraine on this struggle. No matter Russia is doing, it’s nothing to fret about.

Once more, it isn’t clear in political phrases what the large constituency is for these things. However that’s the place at the least the Trump and Trump-ish wing of the Republican celebration says they’re on this concern. And good luck to them with it.

Rachel Maddow introduced up an attention-grabbing level. Who’re the Trump Republicans catering to? It doesn’t appear to be a home pro-Russia viewers, so it’s logical to suspect that the individual the GOP is catering to is Putin. Russia has spent many years trying to infiltrate each political events, however virtually all of its success has come on the Republican aspect.

Republicans noticed what Russian election meddling was capable of do in 2016, so it may very well be that they’re lobbying for a similar help from Putin in 2024.
