Fucker’s too lazy to make up his own lies.

And too stupid to understand that deleting tweets doesn’t do any good.

…even his own team knew that they should not be promoting content from Russian state media.

At least in not such an obvious way.

So what I’m getting from this is that the difference between him and his fellow Republican congresscritters is that, unlike the rest of them, he at least eventually understands it was a bad idea to spread Russian propaganda and has the basic decency to get embarrassed about it.

Aside from, like, everyone.

Seems like a lot of the Republicans these days now double down when caught - or just simply ignore that they’ve been caught entirely.
