Lewis Claims, "The GOP is The Russia Propaganda Party."

On the left wing site the Daily Beast Matt Lewis, claims: "I am so old I remember when the Republican party stood up against Russian interference and aggression."

Lewis doesn't mention in his post that when Russia interfered in the 2016 Presidential election there was a Democrat President, and when they marched into the Ukraine we had a Democrat as commander and chief.

He doesn't mention that Obama told Dmitri Medvedev, on a live microphone, "Tell Vlad after the election I will be more flexible." Russia then invaded the Ukraine. Could you imagine what Lewis would have said if Trump said, "Tell Vlad after the election I will be more flexible."

The piece is rather discursive, and of unconvincing, but Lewis tries to claim that the Republican party is acting at the behest of Vladimir Putin. Lewis doesn't make the case. He seriously claims that Republicans feel sympathy for Russia, since Red is the color of the Republican party. He doesn't seem to realize that red is not the color of Russia. Rather it is the color of the old soviet union, which died in 1991.

Lewis does not use Obama's Medvedev quote, but he oddly uses another quote that doesn't help his case at all. In a Presidential debate Obama chastised Mitt Ronmney for being too tough on Putin. Romney described Russia as our greatest strategic threat. Obama responded, "Mitt, the 1980's called they want their foreign policy back." Lewis doesn't seem to realize that the Obama quote undermines his argument that the GOP is soft on Putin.

He goes on to attack Senator Kennedy (R-LA), for being a mouthpiece for Putin. Why? Kennedy doesn't deny Russia meddled in the election. He just claims that the Ukraine did as well. Come to think of it CNN also meddled by campaigning for Hillary..

But to Lewis this is acting as "Putin's mouthpiece." Because Putin said the same thing! If Putin says something, and you said the same thing, well, you are an agent for Putin.

He then goes into a history dissertation, which is not very good history. He doesn't seem to even understand what the cold war was about. He seems to think it was anti Russia. It was not, it was anti communism. And it was fought against the Soviet Union, which does not exist anymore.

Lewis misuses the old quote "Better dead than red. Red refers to communism, not Russia.

In his rambling piece Lewis mentions everything from the movie Rambo to Helen Gahagan's Douglas's underwear. I won't comment on any of it. However, one more thing that was interesting.

He quotes deep state actress Fiona Hill, who testified on the Hill last week at the impeachment inquiry. He quotes her when he thinks it helps his case, actually it doesn't really.

But he doesn't quote her admission that the Obama administration denied Ukraine lethal aid after Russia invaded. And that it was the Trump administration that restored the aid.

That fact doesn't fit his narrative that the Trump administration is acting on behalf of Vladimir Putin.
