GOPers like Sen. John Kennedy are trying to muddy the waters on "foreign interference," claiming Ukrainian leaders' criticisms of Trump are equal to Russia's systemic electoral attack.

So what about UK far-right leader Nigel Farage endorsing Trump at a 2016 rally in Mississippi?
By the way, of course Ukrainian officials criticized Trump in 2016! He campaigned on a policy of opening the door for more Russian invasions.

Nowhere near the same as Russia hacking the DNC, state election systems, & targeting Americans with manipulative ads & fake articles.
Sen. John Kennedy's remarks play into something Russia has been doing since 2017 & maybe earlier: Planting propaganda designed to confuse Americans about who attacked us in 2016, trying to pin blame on Ukraine. It's a lie, & one US political worthy is fueling it for Putin.
