    I’ll never forget the 1st time I heard a conservative praising Vladimir Putin. It was in 2013! It blew my mind. (Scroll down & you will see one conservative accusing me of making it up.)https://twitter.com/mattklewis/status/360866325750484992?s=21 …

    @LizMair I was at a conservative event recently and actually overheard an attendee praising Putin. Is this a thing?

        Wow, Liz was all over the corruption back then. I like that the guy who accused you of lying is "Mike Flynn." So much foreshadowing in this string. 😏

        In think he may have passed away, so I don’t want to pile on him. But I think that this is an interesting personal artifact about this story.

        I'm sorry to hear that. I don't wish bad things for anyone, even awful people. But I would recommend that the Flynns of the world stop naming their children Michael. I don't think it's working out well.

        Is there "a thing" about being named Mike Flynn?

        I have a friend- good guy. But he has a thing for dictators; I think it’s in his blood: his family moved to the US from Dominican Republic after Gen. Trujillo was murdered (of which his family was closely aligned.) Trujillo’s axiom was “God in Heaven, Trujillo on Earth”.

        You all have always underestimated how much many on the right hate gay people and how they’ll cheer for anyone, like Putin, who does the same.

        During the 2012 race conservatives praised Putin to spite Obama.

        Not to be overlooked, the article Liz mentioned was published on a website founded by a guy with a Fox News show on in prime time. Pretty big megaphone.

        I'm pretty sure that the current Fox News view is that the current Russia is not the same as Communist Russia, and that we should not carry over the old biases against Russia to our current relationship.

        Maybe not surprising given what we now know about Russia’s attempts to infiltrate and influence organizations in the conservative movement.
