And Republicans keep pretending that's a big hoax, and it isn't a hoax. It happened. It's a horrible, this has been an ongoing assault on Western democracy that Putin has engaged in very successfully thanks to the Republican Party and why were they so open to help from him because they know that they can't win elections without lying and tricking people.
