Rep. Steve Scalise exposes the fake Russia narrative

As the mainstream media descends into a full-on attack on President Trump’s recent meeting with Russian leader Vladimir Putin at Helsinki, it’s become more apparent that liberals have had a ‘sudden amnesia’ under President Barack Obama.

Rep. Steve Scalise, the brave congressman who survived an attack on his life last year, reminded the American people of what took place between Russia and the United States in during the Obama years.

“President @realDonaldTrump went into this meeting with Putin from a position of American strength to combat Russian aggression, but it’s important to remember how Russia was allowed to get to this point,” Scalise tweeted.

There certainly were numerous ways “Russia was allowed to get to that point.”

According to Westerjournal: Scalise started with the year 2009, when then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton gleefully presented a plastic “reset button” to Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov to reset relations with Russia and the United States, as if the gesture undid all the wrongs Russia committed against the U.S. and our allies.

“This is my last election. After my election I have more flexibility,” Obama said.

“I understand,” Medvedev replied. “I will transmit this information to Vladimir, and I stand with you.”

Of course, Obama never intended anyone to hear this, but it was all caught on a hot-mic.

In a final tweet, Scalise backed our current president who he’s confident will not choke in the face of Russia like Obama did.

“June 2017: Senior Obama administration official admits they ‘sort of choked’ when it came to dealing with Russia. President @realDonaldTrump won’t choke like President Obama did,” Scalise wrote.

Thanks to people like Scalise, the American people won’t be forgetting that history anytime soon.

Putin fired a few uncomfortable truths at the press conference in Helsinki, one the first casualties is the Mueller investigation.

The Russian leader highlighted various items, including that he provided the US information on the Russian company Mueller indicted, Concord Management, but also that the Deep State should not decide the fate of the Mueller investigation, the courts should.

Former Congressman Ron Paul claimed the Deep State or “secret government” were responsible for fanning the flames of hysteria over President Trump’s meeting with Vladimir Putin.

When Paul was asked why the mainstream media was so up in arms about Trump’s meeting with Russian President in Helsinki, he said the hand of the “shadow government was at work.”

“It’s hard to say, but we usually describe that there is a secret government that likes to control things and most people know what we talk about when we talk about the ‘deep state.’

And they do have a lot of clout, they are very much involved in the media and the leadership of both parties, so both parties and the media are very, very, annoyed with Trump [being so] independent,” said Paul.
