To the Editor:

The problems that America is having with the bromance of Trump and Putin was bought by the Republican Party. When Obama was in the White House the world witnessed the Republican­s in congress doing everything they could to make it hard for Obama to be president. The Republican­s did not give Obama any support on no issues or conflicts in government that he tried to solve. If Obama was for something the Republican­s were against it. The Republican­s stood side by side with Trump when Trump was praising Putin and disrespect­ing Obama (President of the USA).

When Trump called Obama weak and said Putin was stronger and better at being president than Obama the Republican­s were right there with Trump praising Putin. The news media never called Trump or the Republican­s out for their praise and loyalty to Putin and ridicule of Obama, our own president. If you think that is a lie go back and check the old newspapers and TV broadcasts.

Yes, the Republican­s bought this Putin/Trump collusion, now they are paying for it but they did not know that it would cost America so much. You have to believe, the majority of high ranking Republican­s, from the way they have tried to protect Trump, knew beforehand what Trump and Putin plans were for our 2016 election.

You know the old saying, “be careful what you wish for” Republican­s. Now their hatred for Obama and love for Putin is biting them in the lower backside. The way Trump is praising Putin now, the Republican­s were doing the same thing when Obama was in the White House. They showed more support and love for a dictator than they showed cooperatio­n for our own black president. Racism in the highest form.
