Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-Kremlin) is meeting privately with President Trump today. We don’t know exactly what they’ll be talking about, but we have some ideas as to what President Trump and “Putin’s favorite congressman” might discuss today:
- Arranging a meeting between African strongman Denis Sassou Nguesso and then President-elect Donald Trump on behalf of disgraced former lobbyist and convicted criminal Jack Abramoff.
- Dismissing NATO-member state Estonia’s concerns about Russian aggression on their border.
- Defending disgraced former national security adviser Michael Flynn for communicating with the Russian government.
- Defending Vladimir Putin against charges that he is a war criminal.
- Losing an arm wrestling mach to Vladimir Putin.
- Celebrating that “Donald Trump’s presidential win provides his out-of-the-mainstream views on Russia a new foothold”.
- Debating whether or not Macedonia is a country.
There’s a lot for them to discuss, but Rohrabacher’s dangerous worldview finding a home at the highest levels of American government should worry every American.
“Congressman Dana Rohrabacher has existed on the fringe of American politics for decades but now has the ear of the President and the ability to push his dangerous views inside the Trump Administration,” said DCCC spokesperson Tyler Law. “President Trump and Vladimir Putin may be happy to see Dana Rohrabacher in the Oval Office, but the Congressman’s constituents – who already rejected Trump at the ballot box – are rightfully concerned.”
