After leaving office, in 2014, he condemned the U.S. sanctions on Russia for its interference in Ukraine. “We need to stop playing Cold War games,” he told a Russian state-operated news agency. Then following the 2016 election, after the Barack Obama administration said Russia meddled, he posted on Facebook, “Enough of the BS about #Russia stealing the election. This is CIA & State Dept propaganda trying to legitimatize their increased hostilities towards Russia.”

After Trump took office, Kucinich continued giving interviews that seemed in line with what the president—whose inauguration speech Kucinich praised—was saying. In one interview, he said Obama should have fired then-FBI Director James Comey for Comey’s disclosure about new evidence in the completed investigation of Hillary Clinton’s emails, and called it “astonishing” that Comey was still leading the bureau and its Russia probe. (Trump fired Comey a month later.) In the same interview, he said the Russia issue “is hurting the Democratic party,” and that “the Democrats are losing valuable time trying to blame the 2016 election results on Moscow.”

In a February 2017 opinion piece published by Newsweek, he defended Michael Flynn, who had just resigned as Trump’s national security adviser and would later plead guilty to lying to federal agents. Last July, he said on Fox News that the meeting between Trump campaign officials and a Kremlin-linked lawyer “is a bunch of nothing,” and that the Russia investigations are “going nowhere.” He claimed in multiple TV appearances that U.S. intelligences agencies are trying to take down Trump. In one spot, when Fox News host Sean Hannity asked if “President Trump is under attack by the ‘deep state’ intelligence community,” Kucinich responded: “I believe that.”

Kucinich has also given interviews to Russian outlets that U.S. intelligence believes were part of Russia’s meddling operation. “If you want to know who influenced the U.S. election,” he told Russia’s Sputnik in an article published last March, “look no further than the FBI.”

No way does he have a shot at winning in 2018.

I hope he loses the primary by a landslide.
