@SenShelby's all-GOP group: @JerryMoran, @SenJohnHoeven, @RepKayGranger, @JonHuntsman, @SenJohnThune, @SteveDaines, @SenJohnKennedy, @SenRonJohnson.

They met w/Lavrov, Kislyak & others who helped THROW the election to @realDonaldTrump‼️🤬 2/

Shelby: "We are competitors but don't necessarily need to be adversaries."🤨

Shelby said ZERO about #Russia🇷🇺helping to throw the election to Trump. On the *same day*, Senate Intel released its BIPARTISAN report, led by @SenatorBurr & @MarkWarner👇🏼3/

Finally, someone in the all-#GOP group mentions the election. @SenJohnKennedy: "I ask our friends in #Russia🇷🇺not to interfere in our election this year."

Note: They're not our "friends" and "asking" them not to interfere has NO chance of working.🙄 5/

Can you imagine if Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton went to Moscow on #IndependenceDay and said even one of the bizarre things that Shelby said?

Nor can I.
