Senate Republicans suggested on Thursday that a Soviet-trained communist was about to take over a key office in the country’s banking regulation infrastructure.
GOP Revives McCarthyism
They never abandoned it, just hid it better. But like open racism, sometimes it peeks out from behind the curtain.
Kennedy pressed on to Omarova: “I don’t mean any disrespect — I don’t know whether to call you professor or comrade.”
“And I don’t know whether to call you idiot or moron”, should have been her response.
John, I don’t mean any disrespect — I don’t know whether to call you Grand Wizard or Gruppenführer.
And yet their Dear Leader had private meetings with the current head of Russia, a form KGB officer, with no other US personnel present.
I would like to ask half of the Republican Senate if they have denounced their ties to the Russian Oligarchy.
Did Kennedy send the KKK a resignation letter one wonders? Unlike Komsomol (communist youth) that is not something you automatically leave when you reach a certain age after all.
Kennedy was born in Mississippi, so by his logic it is fair to ask him if he is married to his first or second cousin, and whether he ever formally resigned from the KKK.
It is amazing what behaviors are now considered normal in the GOP.
ETA: I see Tindalos beat me on the KKK one. Respect.
Brilliant.
It shows how easy it is to play the GOP. The hypocrisy is comical.
Everything on TPM is read meat.
That fraudulent Oxford educated folksy fker ought to have his head slapped into next week. Everyone NOT FROM THE US is a ‘communist’. Rotten twit.
Oxford must be very proud of Kennedy.
Russians who support Trump and the Republican party are just fine, Russians who renounce their citizenship, are scarred by Stalin’s Russia’s attempts to kill their family, and want to make sure the US banking system is not out of control or cheating the people are persona non grata to the Republican party.
Really, her being from Russia isn’t the problem, it’s her competence and nomination by a Democrat…they would find any excuse to dump her.
Did Ivy League Oxford teach you to be a piece of shit, or did it come naturally? I don’t know weather to call you Senator Piece of Shit or Senator. No disrespect, naturally.
Kennedy pressed on to Omarova: “I don’t mean any disrespect — I don’t know whether to call you professor or comrade.”
Yes, yes you do.
“I knew John Kennedy, and Senator, you are no John Kennedy.”
Sen. Kennedy, are you still a senator from a state that seceded from the United States on January 26, 1861 and are you still a member of the political party that tried to subvert the results of the 2020 election?
Aren’t these the same republicans who say stuff like ‘I’d rather be Russian than a Democrat’? 
By GOP definition every Democrat must be a Marxist Communist pedophile who supports unrestricted immigration by non-whites.
Well done!
