Russian spies secretly paid bounties to Taliban militants to kill U.S., British and other allied troops in Afghanistan. So far Trump has done nothing about it. w/@charlie_savage, @mschwirtz https://t.co/01bMvulVST

For those keeping score at home: In the months since the Administration knew about these bounties, the President invited Putin to join the G-7 summit, planned for pulling troops out of Germany and failed to act against growing Russian cyber action in the U.S. https://t.co/dcwx7O1EcT

Trump’s response will be something along the lines of “I called Vladimir Putin and he denies it *very* strongly, so that’s good enough for me!” https://t.co/ievfsMiD0Z

What part of "support the troops" includes ignoring Russians paying bounties to Taliban forces to murder American soliders?#TraitorTrump's part.

Trump allowed Russia to put a bounty on US Soldiers and did nothing to stop it, didn’t retaliate.
Do our Senators denounce Trump’s actions and want to keep our troops alive?
Quote tweet this and tag your US Senators.
