Trump & Republicans REFUSE To Protect Our Elections From Outside Interference

The Mueller Report made it crystal clear – there was interference in the 2016 election by outside countries. Obama wanted to warn the public about this ahead of those elections but Mitch McConnell wouldn’t let him, and being the nice guy that he is, Obama refused to go forward without McConnell’s approval. We’re still in the same boat, except now the Republicans are trying to tell us that even if it happens it isn’t a big deal. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

There is a very harsh reality contained within Robert Mueller, the special prosecutor's final report. Even in the heavily redacted report. Yeah. It may have said no collusion or may have hinted it. No collusion or some people may have taken away from it. No collusion. But that's not even what this is about. Whether or not collusion took place at this point is irrelevant. What is relevant is the fact that this report detailed the fact that yes, we did have a foreign country interfering with the 2016 election and the interference did help Donald Trump. The question now is what are we gonna do about it? This is a thing that happened and I know you still have your folks out there doing their victory lap saying, we told you there was no, Eh, there was interference though. There really was. And you're ignoring that like an idiot. Cause if you think this isn't a big guy a deal, then yeah, you're an idiot.

And you also fall into the same campus. People like Jared Kushner and Rudy Giuliani who are out there this week telling us that know the interferences and a big deal. We're fine path. We don't need to do anything about it. The Trump administration has repeatedly refused to do anything about it. Hell, back in 2016 when Barack Obama wanted to warn the country that this was happening because they knew about it, Mitch McConnell stood up and said, I'm not going to sign onto your little letter warning about people and then you're going to look like a partisan who's trying to help Hillary and Aha, I'm not going to help. And so Barack Obama said, oh darn it. You're right, our, I won't, I won't do anything. I'll just let them interfere. And I'm exaggerating about what was actually said. But that is actually what happened. Obama being the nice guy that he always is, said, Oh Mitch, you got me over a barrel here.

Nothing I can do. So he didn't warn us, he didn't do anything. And now Mitch McConnell was still refusing to allow any kind of efforts be done to protect our elections here in the United States. But let me put it this way, if you, they, Russia is the only bad guy out there. And the only people that want to interfere with our elections, you are sorely mistaken. They're not even the most important ones. Sure. They did some things in 2016 that were unsavory and likely influenced and swung this election, and that's not okay, but they're not the only ones. We've got Saudi Arabia there. We've got China out there, and more importantly, we've got the hacker down the street who can change vote totals. We have a 11 year old children in this country who are tech savvy enough to be able to hack into a states voting system and start changing votes. That is how vulnerable our voting system is here in the United States. So I think rather than worrying about a country spending, even if it's millions of dollars on Facebook ads, I think we need to start with the fact that we have a voting system that is so insecure that literally a child can change.
