Bianna Golodryga's parents emigrated to the US when she was a year old, Dana Rohrabacher is a former speech writer for Reagan. I don't think he had any idea of her background, very heated exchange.


Quote:
Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-Calif.), who has emerged as a dark-horse pick for Donald Trump's secretary of state, tangled with a Yahoo News host Wednesday over whether Russia is a major human rights abuser. Rohrabacher's verdict: It's "baloney."
The exchange is pretty remarkable — in part because he was debating a Yahoo host who just happens to be from the former Soviet Union, but mostly because Rohrabacher seemed to dismiss long-standing and documented evidence of abuses in Russia.

It's an opinion article from WaPo.

Putin has an 87% approval rating by his own people. What is Obama's?

No, it showcases an interview to make its key point. The GOP in cahoots with Putin, Reagan is spinning in his grave.

Yes correct. And to Mr Kitty please go visit Russia - such a successful country run by a former KGB agent.

Reagan is turning over in his grave right now.

Danna Rohrbacher is actually a man.


And Putin is NOT a good person. Didn't we already go down this road with Bush- who Trunp completely mocked for his policies...

Kim Jong-un was elected by 100% of the voters (his own people), I suppose you'll be hoping to see Trump add him to his inner circle of 'friends' too?

Saddam Hussein and Kim Jon-Un are/were both above 90%, strong leaders to be admired.


It's not opinion it was a live interview, did you read the text? Rohrabacher actually made those statements and is an outside consideration for Secretary of State.

Let's not forget how people of color are treated in parts of Russia. We're talking foreigners getting beaten and killed, their living places fire bombed.

Of course the, cough cough, 'white nationalist' and their supporters on this forum will gloss over such things and gush how refreshingly un PC Russians are, and how they have a right to preserve their culture against invading hordes.
