Reps. Pelosi, Raskin, Jeffries and Goldman all leveled new Russia accusations against Trump and Republicans this week.
House Democrats have apparently gotten their new talking points this week, now once again reviving the debunked Russia hoax conspiracy theory to smear former President Donald Trump.
For years, Democrats have peddled the thoroughly debunked narrative that Trump had colluded with Russia to steal the 2016 election, a talking point created by Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama with the help of the CIA and FBI.
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) revived the fake narrative Monday, claiming she believed Russian President Vladimir Putin is blackmailing Trump to pull the U.S. out of NATO.
“What does [Putin] have on Donald Trump that he’d have to constantly be catering to Putin, telling Putin, go into these countries?” Pelosi wondered.

Fellow Democrat Reps. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) and Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.) later fueled that talking point on cable news talk shows Tuesday and Wednesday.
“It’s all part of a propaganda and disinformation campaign by Russia attempting to help Donald Trump,” Raskin said on CNN, referring to GOP investigations into Joe Biden. “And when we point out the contours of this story, our colleagues just start chanting, ‘Russia hoax, Russia hoax!’ Well what’s the hoax!?”

“It seems to me that the most likely hoax is Donald Trump who’s been manipulated by Putin for a long time, or is certainly in love with Putin,” he added.
Goldman issued similarly absurd and demonstrably false remarks on CNN Tuesday, claiming House Republicans investigating Biden are “acting as an agent or an asset of Russian intelligence.”
“Not only is there no evidence of any wrongdoing by President Biden, but it now appears as if the House Republican majority is being used by Russia to interfere in the 2024 election on behalf of Donald Trump,” Goldman told host Anderson Cooper.

Jeffries joined ABC’s The View on Wednesday to accuse Trump, Tucker Carlson, and Republican Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) of being in league with Putin.
“What does Putin have on Donald Trump?” co-host Joy Behar asked him.
“Well, I actually think that Donald Trump views himself as a Putin-esque dictatorial figure,” Jeffries responded.
ABSOLUTELY UNHINGED: Election Denier Hakeem Jeffries baselessly accuses Republicans of being “pro-Putin” and suggests President Trump is being blackmailed.

“And that’s the problem we’re encountering with some of my Republican colleagues that there is a growing pro-Putin faction in the Republican Party and it’s led by Donald Trump, some other outside figures like Tucker Carlson, and on the inside, Marjorie Taylor Greene and Jim Jordan,” he said.
Democrats have apparently revived the Russia hoax in a one-size-fits-all bid to discredit Republican investigations of Joe Biden as well as resistance to providing billions of dollars more of financial aid to Ukraine amid reports the Eastern European nation is close to defeat by Russia.

Ironically, Putin himself last week told local Russian media that he would prefer that Biden win the 2024 election because he’s “more experienced, more predictable.”
“He’s an old school politician,” Putin said.
