I’m personally not convinced that el-pais got the headline right unfortunately, unless they know something other journalists covering the case don’t…

    The degree to which liberals have decided that everything and everyone is secretly a Russian asset is extremely worrying. Basically become their version of the Nazi’s blaming everything on a Jewish conspiracy.

          I wouldn’t go so far as to say they’re as unhinged, but they’ll blame anyone for their failures—even if they have to invent them—than ever look in the mirror.

      Hey, I’m liberal leaning. Don’t put us all in the same bundle.

      Imagine if I called you a Trump-supporter for not liking liberal policies.

      That’s not really a fair comparison. The Russian state does exist as a threat in the world, and there are some unknown number of actual Russian assets doing things to serve Russian interests. There is not and never has been any truth to Nazi claims about Jewish conspiracy.
