Damnit, I agree with Chomsky. Still not as bad as agreeing with Michael Moore.
Noam Chomsky Calls Dem Focus on Russia a âHuge Giftâ to Trump: âThey May Have Handed Him the Next Electionâ
Noam Chomsky Calls Dem Focus on Russia a âHuge Giftâ to Trump: âThey May Have Handed Him the Next Electionâ
Speaking at a forum in Boston with Amy Goodman, Chomsky stated his view that he always believed there was going to be little to no proof of collusion in the Mueller Report.
â[T]he Democrats are helping him,â Chomsky said. âThey are. Take the focus on Russia-gate. Whatâs that all about? I mean, it was pretty obvious at the beginning that youâre not going to find anything very serious about Russian interference in elections.â
He added, âAs far as Trump collusion with the Russians, that was never going to amount to anything more than minor corruption, maybe building a Trump hotel in Red Square or something like that, but nothing of any significance.â
Chomsky went on to say that he believes focusing too heavily on Russia may cost Democrats dearly next November.
âThe Democrats invested everything in this issue,â Chomsky said. âWell, turned out there was nothing much there. They gave Trump a huge gift. In fact, they may have handed him the next election. ⌠Thatâs a matter of being so unwilling to deal with fundamental issues, that theyâre looking for something on the side that will somehow give political success.â
