NH-01 Candidates Silent on Trump’s Praise of Putin

Do NH-01 GOP candidates support Trump and Putin or stand with the world against thuggery?

The NH-01 GOP primary has fallen further into a den of delusion on Ukraine.

Russian dictator Vladimir Putin ordered the deployment of troops to two breakaway regions in eastern Ukraine. Throwing the world into chaos.

The leader of the Republican party, former President Donald Trump has called Vladimir Putin a  “genius” and “smart” since the invasion that has killed and displaced innocent people has started.

Matt Mowers decided this was a good time to praise the Trump administration. But Mowers left out Trump’s efforts to lift sanctions on Russia, opposition and lobbying to weaken the Russian sanctions Mowers praised, and then delayed implementing those sanctions.

Karoline Leavitt, days before Putin ordered troops to deploy into Ukraine, floated that coverage of Russia possibly invading Ukraine was a false flag to distract from a legal filing on Hillary Clinton. How ridiculous does this sound now?

DCCC spokesperson James Singer:
“These New Hampshire Republicans have a choice. Stick with Trump and his support of Putin’s thuggish actions or stand with the world order. There is no in-between.”
