Republican members of Congress celebrated the Fourth of July in Russia

Seven senators — John Kennedy (R-LA), Richard Shelby (R-AL), Steve Daines (R-MT), John Hoeven (R-ND), John Thune (R-SD), Jerry Moran (R-KS), and Ron Johnson (R-WI) — and one House member, Kay Granger (R-TX),

The U.S. intelligence community has been very clear that Russia interfered with the 2016 presidential elections in order to help Trump get elected — and that Russia will probably try again to target the 2018 midterms.

Trump, however, continues to publicly cozy up to Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. He even insists that we should believe Putin when he says Russia had nothing to do with election meddling.

And while the GOP-led Senate Intelligence Committee quietly released a report this week saying that Trump is wrong, the Republicans “investigating” this issue in the House have loudly backed Trump for months, often using smears and conspiracy theories to do so.

It’s now clearer than ever: the GOP party line is to support Trump no matter what, and to look the other way as Russia actively tries to destroy American democracy.
