Show-Me Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill Raging Against Russian Election Hacking



The most powerful politically lady in this state took up a strident defense of the U.S. intelligence community today and earned just a bit of underhanded rebuke from the other side of the aisle.

Check the headlines:

RCP - Sen. McCaskill: There Should Be "Howls" Against A President Who Would Defend Julian Assange

NYT - Taking Aim at Trump, Leaders Strongly Affirm Findings on Russian Hacking

Daily Caller -McCain Drops WICKED One-Liner On McCaskill For Dragging Politics Into Intel Hearing

Money line . . .

“I think it should bring about an hue and cry, no matter whether you’re a republican or democrat, there should be howls,” McCaskill concluded. “And mark my word, if the roles were reversed, there would be howls from the republican side of the aisle. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.”

Sen. John McCain’s simple but biting comment elicited cheers and laughter from members of the committee and members of the audience alike. “Thank you for that nonpartisan comment.”

You decide . . .
