Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsThe Duffy, "He speaks Ukranian" is a Joe McCarthy "at long last, have you no shame" moment.
And not just Duffy, but also John Yoo (Torture is good!) and Laura Ingraham, so this clearly is a right wing meme likely to be picked up by House Republicans. This will not end well for Trump and the Republicans. Every Republican in the House and Senate should be asked if they too think that this Iraqi War hero is suspect simply because he speaks Ukranian (which is one reason part of his job at the NSC is to advise Ukraine on security issues).
