McConnell Lauds Trump’s Response to Russian Interference, Blasts Obama-Biden Admin for ‘Failure’ to Stop It (VIDEO)

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) took jabs at the Obama administration for the Russian election interference that happened under its watch while lauding President Donald Trump‘s response to it.

Vladimir Putin’s efforts to interfere in our 2016 elections were completely unacceptable. And they did not come out of nowhere. They were preceded by eight years of growing Russian assertiveness in foreign meddling while the Obama administration failed to confront it. pic.twitter.com/EMfkBReUHx
