Chamber of Representatives believes that Russian propaganda "infected" US Congress
pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2024/04/7/7450147/
Quick Glance: GOP Rep. Turner: Accusations of Russian Propaganda Spread Among Republicans
- The congressman stated that it is 'absolutely true' that Russia's anti-Ukraine messaging has 'infected' his party's base.
- Mike Turner, a Republican representative, accused some of his colleagues of spreading Russian propaganda 'on the House floor' amid Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine.
- Turner's comments align with an earlier assertion by another Republican and chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Michael McCaul, who mentioned that Russian propaganda has infiltrated the United States and affected a significant portion of his party's base.
- McCaul attributed the dissemination of Russian propaganda to conservative media outlets, including 'nighttime entertainment shows' that echo talking points used by Russian state media.
