Who is going to break it to Lindsey Graham that the pro-Putin wing of the Republican Party is a lot bigger than he wants to admit?
The Putin GOP is led by Donald Trump. The media arm is made up of the likes of Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity, and in the House alone, there is Gosar, Boebert, Greene, Cawthorn, and several others on the Republican side of the aisle.
The names listed above aren’t outliers. They are the backbone of Trump’s Republican Party, and they support Putin.
