and what it means is that any allegation against russia, whether it s the russian forces in afghanistan, whether it s hunter biden, the laptop , op the russian disinformation, there s trump russia collusion, anything that is said to accept it on faith and nobody questions it. and if you dare challenge it,ar you re deemed y a russian apologist. well, let me let me just ask you very quickly about that . so you ve been covering this at least the past five years that i ve noticed and i knowen you have been denounced many times as a putin apologist. putin toady is a disloyal american. obviously we have been to why do people in a briefing room put up with it when a government employee singles out a reporter and calls him. a disloyal american? because that s effectively what ned price said iha. why does this woman say, hey, knock it off, pal, we re nott going to you know, we re not gonna take that . we have no we have no reason tom take that from you. nobody says anything. why is that okay? o
russians are putting out that is that is for you to do what the russian government is putting out. and i don t mean what are this supposed to be? so if you re on russia s side now an earlier age, this is the point where matley would have vaulted the podiummhe and punch ned price right t in the face. there was a time in this country when calling a man disloyal was a grave a and serious charge. you could notha let that stand. that s not true anymore. we re so used to it nowon we hear it constantly on wednesday, two days agori during a closed door briefing in congressngre in russia, jim cooper of tennessee, a democrat, asked anen intelligence referred to find out if this show is tied to russia. we re not tied to russia, of course, is a cable television program. we re not a diplomaticion missis jim cooper, needless t to say, knows that . but that s not the point. the point is we ve criticized the biden administration s ukraineze policy. so in retaliation for that , jim cooper has askedco t
autocracy, but they don t care about that right now the u.s. is supporting saudi arabia, ud one of the world s worst dictatorships in bombing civilians in yemen. so. it wasn t about that .hat they didn t like the fact that trump was calling for better relations with russiaik and they didn t likee the fact that russia that trump also was criticizingg on the campaign trail in office. he was much different on the campaign trail. he was criticizing foreign intervention like in syria and they had an animus towards russia because russia is a deterrent to u.s. hegemony. russia can fight back . it s a nuclear power it pushedne back in ukraine when the u.s. launched a coup with joe biden s heavy involvement along with along with victoria nuland who s back in power now under biden. it counted a by taking crimea and in syria to the u.s. was on the side of sectarian death squads like al-qaida. as jake sullivan wrote toae hillary clinton ten yearsda ago, he wrote al-qaida is on our side in syria an
