Here we have @GOPLeader making up lies in order to undermine the investigation that turned up evidence that Russia carried out a "sweeping and systematic" attack on our election.
Meanwhile, @RudyGiuliani is also busy taking Russia's side . . .

@GOPLeader @RudyGiuliani . . . by pushing lies that advance Russia's interest in Ukraine, lies which incidentally also clear buddy Manafort of blame.
Manafort, remember, backed the Kremlin-puppet president of Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovych.

@GOPLeader @RudyGiuliani Meanwhile GOP leadership is poised to do whatever is necessary to shield Trump and keep him in power.
Why is the GOP leadership lying and covering up for cheating and lawbreaking?
They're simply following the course that Newt Gingrich defined in the early 1990s . . .

@GOPLeader @RudyGiuliani Gingrich advocated abandoning all norms and destroying politics by conducting a war for power.
What matters was winning, any way necessary.
Well, if you adopt that strategy, this is where you end up: Take Putin's side if that's the way to win.

@GOPLeader @RudyGiuliani If you're wondering why taking Putin's side comes so naturally to the GOP, see this thread:
It's up to the rest of us to save democracy.
The only way to save democracy is through democratic means, and anti-hardball tactics.

@GOPLeader @RudyGiuliani Here's how it comes back to race:
The age of civility, usually given between the 1930s and 1960 happened because neither party was advocating racial equality.
The Republicans had long since abandoned civil rights as a platform, and the Democrats. . .

@GOPLeader @RudyGiuliani . . . did some, but not much, because the white South was a core part of the Democratic base. But they advanced labor, which also helped the minority communities.
It was only after the Democrat started actively advancing civil rights that things started changing . . .

@GOPLeader @RudyGiuliani If civility didn't break down until the 1980s, that's because it wasn't until then that the parties fully shifted: The Democrats became the party of minority communities and urban intellectuals, while the Republican Party was on its way to a rural white nationalist party.
@GOPLeader @RudyGiuliani In the 1940s the parties weren't that different. Both were controlled by white men.

@GOPLeader @RudyGiuliani Yes, exactly.
That's why it's absurd that McConnell points to his past opposition to the the Soviet Union as proof that he isn't pro-Russia.
Russia swung from communist-totalitarianism to fascism. The fascist oligarchy appeals to the American right wing.
