The real reason the Republican Party just can’t quit Vladimir Putin

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

The GOP has a problem. And that is Russia. The GOP hates anything the democrats do. So it stands to reason they would hate our continuing aid to Ukraine. And more and more republicans appear to be turning their backs on Ukraine. It’s like some slowly moving smallpox. It’s a virus that is afflicting more republicans every single day.

MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough noticed. And he called it out. As you know, president Biden visited Ukraine in a show of support. And his visit was much needed and very successful. So why are republicans deriding it? And make no mistake, they ARE. Although some in the GOP supported Biden’s visit, others chose to act like morons and launch blistering attacks against Biden.

“You had some buffoons yesterday on Capitol Hill say some absolutely remarkable things that I have no doubt Russia state media will be playing for the next few weeks,” Scarborough said. And it’s true. It’s horrible, but it’s true.

The GOP has become propaganda for Russia. They have sent a signal loud and clear to Russia, which is — “to Russia with love.” Anything to own the libs. Scarborough went on: “They hate the American president so much that they’re willing to provide aid and comfort to the Russian cause,” Scarborough said.

It was a remarkable moment in a remarkable story. It’s like the GOP has been turned — right before our eyes — into Russian messengers. It’s like they’ve thrown away their love for America all because they can’t handle that it is a democrat who sits in the presidency.

Many people ask what the GOP would do for power. I believe that’s the wrong question. We are asking the wrong question and we need to ask the right one. That question is — what WOULDN’T they do?

Isis? The Taliban? What if President Biden brokered world peace? Would the Republicans cry out in condemnation? We speak so much, my friends, about brainwashing. We talk about it as it relates to fox news watchers and maga audiences. And yet the GOP has also been brainwashed. They’ve been brainwashed by the demons inside of them.

These are the demons of their deepest darkness. They are all the woes of the world like hate and envy and disgust — that have come rising to the surface of these Republicans to twist their minds in such a way that friends become enemies and tragically enemies — like Russia become friends.
