⚡️A top Republican says Russian propaganda has infected the Republican Party, the Washington Post reported.

In an interview, Rep. Michael McCaul said that Russian propaganda had 'infected a good chunk of my party’s base.'

“There are some more nighttime entertainment shows that seem to spin, like, I see the Russian propaganda in some of it — and it’s almost identical [to what they’re saying on Russian state television] — on our airwaves,”
McCaul said.

He also cited “these people that read various conspiracy-theory outlets that are just not accurate, and they actually model Russian propaganda.”

Asked which Republicans specifically he was talking about, McCaul said it was “obvious,” before staff intervened and asked that the conversation go off the record.
