“Pushback” host Aaron Maté complains “we don’t talk about the real oligarchs who really pose a threat to this country so notice how there’s no talk at all. There’s very little talk about Sheldon Adelson and Robert Mercer. Instead, there is fear-mongering about random Russian oligarchs who in reality have very little power.”

Aaron Maté believed Benghazi at first, but not Russia-gate, “at the time, I found [it] to be plausible. I think I was among those who got duped because what the US did was they over-hyped what was the supposed threat of a massacre in Benghazi.”

Conspiracy theorist Niko House argues calling Trump a fascist is pointless because the term has been “wore out.”

Video propagandist Jimmy Dore claims “half the time Bernie is talking he’s talking about Russia.”

Kyle Kulinski reminds us that “Donald Trump was on the campaign trail talking about ‘hey, we need to end the wars, we need to rebuild our own country, we need to stop nation-building.’ He wast alking about some populist economic stuff and being against the trade deal, and it really threw a wrench in the status quo.” Kyle finished his segment saying, “in all seriousness, Rachel Maddow is just the Alex Jones of the left.”

Fiorella Isabel says she “doesn’t like Bernie Sanders perpetuating the Russia propaganda narrative, I don’t like him perpetuating a cold war narrative.”

Spectator writer Michael Tracey whines about Sen. Sanders, “the more he defers to establishment hacks advising him to capitulate on Russiagate propaganda garbage, the more Bernie’s credibility erodes. I don’t care what the political calculus is: it’s the wrong thing to do.”

“Journalist” Matt Taibbi tweets “Bernie got to where he is by telling the truth about establishment bullshit. He derives his credibility by showing courage in standing up to propaganda. Deferring to this makes him look weak — it actually is weak. He’s not standing up for other people hurt by these narratives.”
