Scarborough Attacks ‘Useful Idiot’ GOP, Rolls Out Red Carpet for Hillary ‘Reset Button’ Clinton

Hillary Clinton should not pontificate on Russia’s relations with Putin. Hillary Clinton, Obama’s Secretary-of-State, staged that “reset”, a pathetic and false, of relations with Putin’s Russia. This was capped by She laughed and pushed her [mistranslated]Click the reset button Sergey Lavrov, Putin’s foreign minister.

Subsequently during Obama’s tenure, Putin invaded and annexed the Crimea region of Ukraine, as Obama meekly responded with some feckless sanctions. Hillary, so much for your reset.

On Friday, Hillary was there Morning JoeShe argued long and hard about the best way for America to respond to the invasion. She declared that Biden’s Russia policy was “well-executed.”

As expected, Joe Scarborough laid the red carpet to Hillary in order for her to point all of her finger at Trump. 

JOE SCARBOROUGH Madame Secretary, I wonder if the chaos over the past five years hasn’t encouraged Vladimir Putin to continue his march.

HILLARY CLINTON – Well, that’s what I thought. Yes, that’s the correct answer.Tragic, too, since President Biden needed to rebuild confidence and trust in NATO, the United States. 

All of the above he now plans to do would not have been possible under his previous administration.Actually, I don’t think the previous administration even cared enough about asking.

So, It is the rebuilding of credibility, and of our leverage. 

We would like you to know, Madam Secretary that we can only Discuss about what would have happened if Putin had invaded Ukraine during the Trump administration because . . . During the Trump presidency, Putin didn’t invade Ukraine. He was patient and waited until Joe Biden became president.

Biden’s alleged attempt to restore our “credibility, leverage” clearly failed to stop Putin.

It is not Trump’s actions at the polls that are most important. We can surmise from Biden’s weaknesses in general and his catastrophic withdrawal form Afghanistan in particular “, Scarborough said.Vladimir Putin, and others, were encouraged to take action.”

Hillary attacked Trump in an attempt to shift some blame from Trump to Biden over Ukraine. [without deigning to mention him by name]Thank you for applauding Putin’s “genius” & “smart move.”Scarborough termed Trump and his supporters “useful idiots” after this incident. Hillary went one step further, accusing the Trump right of offering “aid and consolation” to their enemy.This is the US definition of treason and it is punishable with death. Are those the words Hillary intends to use against her political enemies?

Hillary was then called upon“What is left of Republican Party”These people should be denounced. What’s the GOP left? The party which is set to sweep Democrats from control of the Senate and House of Representatives?

HILLARY CLINTONIt is also important to ensure that our government calls out anyone who is giving comfort or aid to Vladimir Putin.Unfortunately, they are being shown by Russian media in Europe and Russia to show the divisions within Russia. 

JOE SCARBOROUGH Madame Secretary, thank you so much for bringing up this topicWe used to call them “the former Republicans” — people who were supportive of the Soviet Union.These useful idiots are on Trump’s rightThat is what we have now. 

The former Republican me remembered stories about dissidents that they would recall hearing during the Cold War. It would spread to the jailcells and gulags. This morning, as I thought about it, I became so upset because they are rehashing the propaganda of Trumpists in Moscow and that must be reaching the Ukrainian people. It is so distressing Madam Secretary. This is how distressing. 

CLINTON. Joe. As you all know Joe, there was a bipartisan commitment. This agreement began after World War II and continued until the collapse of the Soviet Union. The promise stated that we would stand alongside people who value freedom and that we would also stand beside dissidents who spoke out against oppression or death by regimes. This is both heartbreaking and dangerous. This is what I believe. It is time to salvage what remains of the Republican partyAnyone with any common sense will not only say “Okay, let’s defend Ukraine from Putin,” but also to Take a stand against such peoplePolitics and Government, Media and Other Areas of Our Country. They are comforting and aiding an enemy.Democracies and freedom. 

. . . 

SCARBOROUGH: Madam Secretary! Is it possible that all of the turmoil over the past five decades has not just encouraged Vladimir Putin’s enemies to take the next step?

HILLARY CLINTON – Well, that’s what I thought. Yes, that’s the correct answer. This is tragic as President Biden must rebuild trust and confidence at NAtO in the United States. 

All of the above he now plans to do would not have been possible under his previous administration.Actually, I don’t think the previous administration even cared enough about asking.

So, This is an opportunity to rebuild our credibility and our leverage.
