After a Meet the Press interview with Senator John Kennedy (R-La.), conservative analyst Charlie Sykes appeared on MSNBC and said Kennedy came off as "an addled Russian asset on television." Sykes, founder and editor-at-large of conservative news website, The Bulwark, discussed Kennedy's TV appearance with MSNBC anchor, Nicolle Wallace, who played a clip of the exchange between the Louisiana senator and Chuck Todd. "For the second Sunday in a row—in defiance of facts, intelligence assessments, reason—Senator John Kennedy was out peddling Vladimir Putin's talking points and demonstrating his utter capitulation to Putin and Donald Trump," Wallace said. After the clip ended, Wallace said, "We have been watching these interviews, and we try not to amplify Russian propaganda here, but I keep airing that because I have not heard an explanation as to why." "I wish I had one. I mean, this is the guy who has a degree from Oxford, he's not an unintelligent man, yet he comes off as an addled Russian asset on television," Sykes said. "Is this the price now to be paid for currying favor in Trump world? Did he have to go full Devin Nunes on all of this?" Sykes wondered aloud, referring to the Republican representative from California who has repeatedly defended the president during impeachment hearings. "And I think this is part of the dilemma dealing with impeachment, the willingness of people who ought to know better to pedal this kind of just flat-out B.S. It's just this torrent, this hurricane of misinformation from people who you would hope would keep a calmer head about them, a calmer demeanor," Sykes added. thebulwark
