The Democratic National Committee has had enough of Team Trump's denial of the Russian cyber-hacking that took place.
After White House press secretary Sean Spicer took a spin on the morning political shows saying there is "zero evidence" of Russian involvement, the DNC knocked Spicer for being a "shill" for Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Via The Hill:
In an email, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) called Spicer’s comments false and pointed to an interview where several former White House press secretaries suggested President-elect Donald Trump often creates his own facts.
“Right on cue, Trump’s incoming White House press secretary was on the morning shows today spinning the falsehood that there is ‘zero evidence’ that Russia influenced the election through their hacking of DNC and Clinton campaign officials,” the DNC email stated. The email was sent under a subject line arguing that the incoming White House press secretary “shills for Putin.”
On Fox News on Monday, Spicer claimed there was “zero evidence” of Russian interference in the 2016 election, despite intelligence agencies’s reports about the hacking campaign leading up to Trump’s electoral win.
The fact of the matter is all 17 of the US intelligence agencies agree "with confidence" that Russia not only hacked into American email servers but did so with the purpose of interfering in the presidential election.
All 17 agencies.
Team Trump's denials are based on fears that his electoral "win" might somehow be delegitimized if the Russian's efforts are acknowledged.
