Republican Congressman Tweets Russian Propaganda
Burchett quickly deleted the tweet
Tennessee Congressman Tim Burchett tweeted out an article from RT, which is Russian State TV and often promotes anti-American propaganda. After being called out on it, Burchett quickly deleted the tweet, but, as you know, the internet is forever.
The article Burchett referenced concerned Ukraine allegedly being offended by Donald Trump’s proposal to repackage military aid to the country as loans that must be repaid. This article was likely published by RT in an effort to sow divisions between Ukraine and the United States. Burchett's quick deletion of the tweet supports the idea that even his own team knew that they should not be promoting content from Russian state media.
