Democrat Coons gets out for his McCarthyism tactics

Post by UpstateSCHokie »

I find it simply amazing that the left has spend the last 60+ year being the vigilant defenders of anyone they think is a victim of "McCarthyism," but now suddenly they have decided that its just fine & dandy to use these tactics. Just continuously claim the President is committing treason without producing a shred of evidence. And media, like the good little Democrats that they are, just go right along with this scandal.

Frightening times in America when a major political party (albeit one that has few reigns of power these days - except for the media & Hollywood bullhorn) can just go out and make accusations, and have their accomplices in the deep state leak information that drives a narrative, but provides no proof to back up their allegations.

Chris Wallace Accuses Dem Sen of ‘More Than a Whiff of McCarthyism’

On this weekend’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday,” host Chris Wallace questioned Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) over comments he made during an MSNBC interview last Friday where he said that the intelligence community had transcripts of conversations between Russia and the Trump campaign.

After playing the video clip of Coons saying there are transcripts that provide”very critical insights” into whether Russia was “colluding with the Trump campaign,” Wallace asked, “Senator, we’re talking here about the President of the United States, isn’t there more than a whiff of McCarthyism for you as a U.S. Senator to say there are transcripts out there that provide insight into whether or not there was collusion, but you don’t know whether they exist?”

After initially defending his comments as an attempt to encourage the Senate Intelligence Committee to be given access to the raw intelligence, Coons admitted there is no “hard evidence of collusion,” and apologized.
