Dem: Trump revoking Brennan's security clearance is 'Moscow politics'

Source: The Hill

A Democratic lawmaker on Wednesday called President Trump’s decision to revoke former CIA chief John Brennan’s security clearance “Moscow politics.”

Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-N.J.) defended Brennan as “a patriot” in a tweet following the announcement.

“Anybody that disagrees with Trump finds themselves on a hit list. John Brennan is a patriot,” Pascrell tweeted. “His faith to America is unwavering. We have a leader now who won't tolerate difference in opinion. This is Moscow politics, in and out.”

If it were Obama who was doing this sort of thing, they would be howling at the moon and beginning impeachment hearings. And, there are lots and lots of democrats that would want to know what the heck the administration thought they were doing.

So much for "both sides do it".

Good branding. Short and loaded. Fits on campaign slogans.

I like it.
