It’s not just Trump.
Senators Shelby, Moran, Daines, Johnson, Kennedy, Thune & Hoevenand + Rep. Granger, who have no time for hearings on Trump stealing children, celebrated July 4 with the enemy that attacked our election, as 2 more people were being poisoned on sovereign British soil by that enemy

I'm just gonna note that if I was a U.S. Senator the last place I would have spent a 4th of July was Vladimir Putin's Russia.

Russian senator Andrei Klimov tells me US lawmakers didn't bring up Crimea during Moscow meeting: "I didn't hear the word 'Crimea' once in 2 hours."

To @SenJohnKennedy, Russia is our “friend” who we should politely ask not to attack us and to cease its invasion of its neighbor. But tyrants do not listen to polite requests. When did the GOP become so weak? Ronald Reagan did not beg the Russians for mercy. https://t.co/zSSsM1KmJR

Senator, you sent this from a place called Russia. And to be clear, you think it’s okay to spend this day meeting with America’s enemies and wrong for American athletes to kneel in protest of police brutality. #amazing https://t.co/c3honabtwS

On this 4th of July, do you know where your Senator is?
These US lawmakers are celebrating in Russia:@SenJohnKennedy (LA)@SenShelby (AL) @SteveDaines (MT)@SenJohnHoeven (ND) @SenJohnThune (SD) @JerryMoran (KS)@RepKayGranger (TX)@SenRonJohnson (WI)https://t.co/j8Mug9IyVA— Julia Davis (@JuliaDavisNews) July 4, 2018
Let this sink in. Today, Senate Intel found Russia interfered in our election w/ a preference for @realDonaldTrump. Yet, @SenateGOP leaders were in Moscow cozying up w/ Russians and Trump wants a private meeting with Putin. If they can’t confront Russia, shouldn’t they just stay?

There was a time, in the pre-Trump era, when Republicans would have erupted in fireworks over an Independence Day visit by submissive American lawmakers to the country the 2012 Republican presidential nominee called “our number one geopolitical foe.” https://t.co/Af5JYbMc7h

Was this just hours before or just hours after a woman on sovereign British soil was fatally poisoned by a Russian nerve agent? https://t.co/yDvpfIfWFH

A member of the party that benefitted from Russian interference is now telling us that Russian interference isn’t that big a deal … right after he visited Russia.
It’s times like these that I remember that Russia also hacked the RNC but didn’t release anything. https://t.co/7aVIFWXD8M

If you are looking to kill time until SCOTUS pick, head over to @RepKayGranger's page – she's been posting overtime to try to explain her trip to RUSSIA on Independence Day.
She's getting seriously ratio'd. #kremlincaucus https://t.co/ALcbqFVGFV
