Unbelievable how pro-Russian repubs have become since the last guy was in office. Moscow Mitch let a Russian oligarch, Oleg Deripaska, off the hook of sanctions for Russia’s bad behavior, including meddling in the US election, for a promise of a $200 million investment in an aluminum plant in Kentucky. The state of Kentucky, was also persuaded to invest $15 million in the project. How’s that plant coming along, Kentucky? Oh, you say the investor blocked the funds? Oh, you say the state of Kentucky is trying to get its $15 million back? Oh, Mitch says he doesn’t know anything about that? What Russian? What false promise? But, the sanctions were lifted.
