On Monday’s Hardball, MSNBC host Chris Matthews and New York Times reporter Jeremy Peters decided to whitewash history and deceive viewers, painting all Republicans as unmistakably belonging to “the Putin party” dead-set on “putting their interests ahead of the country’s” (which means not joining Democrats in seeking to remove Trump from office).

Matthews wondered as much in a tease prior to a commercial break, ignoring Republicans ranging from Congressmen Will Hurd (Tex.) to Senator Marco Rubio (Fl.) who have raised concerns about Russia and what transpired in the 2016 election.
