Republicans call Ukraine extortion a nothing burger

Republicans called the impeachment hearings a nothing burger saying that there is nothing unusual about working with foreign countries to influence elections.

A senator who spoke anonymously said “Look this has happened many times before. Nixon aids met with north Vietnam. Reagan aids met with Iranians. Trump aids met with Russia. And they were just candidates. Surely the president has more power than a candidate.”

Asked for comment, Democratic leaders couldn’t get past saying “what the f***”.

For the sarcastically impaired there is a fair amount in the above.
