As reported by MSN,

Republican Rep. Michael McCaul called out members of his party behind closed doors this week for parroting Russian disinformation and Russian President Vladimir Putin’s talking points, a source in the room told CNN.

McCaul, a former House Foreign Affairs chairman from Texas and staunch supporter of Ukraine, acknowledged during the private event Tuesday with NATO ambassadors and defense ministers that his strong stance that the US should play an active US role in deterring Russian aggression in Ukraine makes him a dying breed in the Republican Party, the source added.

McCaul’s office declined to comment on the private remarks. McCaul has previously warned about Russian propaganda infecting “a good chunk” of his party’s base.

This week, GOP Rep. Don Bacon echoed concerns that loud voices in his party embracing an isolationist approach are hurting US foreign relations and potentially undercutting the party’s success in the process.

“This is a winning issue. Yet Republicans are divided on it,” Bacon said in a conversation with CNN following the event with veterans, where he appeared alongside Ukraine Parliament’s Chair of the Defense Committee, MP Oleksandr Lytvynenko.

Slava Ukraine!
