‘Morning Joe’: Mitch McConnell Stepping in Between Election Security in 2020 ‘Is Outrageous’

EXCERPT:

GEIST: "The Senate report that came out yesterday from the Intel Committee led by Republican Richard Burr of North Carolina was damning but it merely reiterated what we have heard over the last two years that we have heard from all the intelligence agencies. We heard from the Mueller report. We heard from Robert Mueller's testimony, who said memorably two days ago, Russia is interfering with our elections right now as we sit here and will interfere again in our 2020 election. It is happening in real time. Now you have the Senate Intel Committee coming out and detailing in its own way after its investigation what exactly Russia and other countries have been doing. So to have Mitch McConnell step in between election security and this country and our future elections, what is coming up in 2020 is outrageous. When he talks about it, Mitch McConnell talks about it in terms of this conspiracy. He calls it the Russia hoax, you know? He said, 'Well, this just another bill, a partisan bill from the Democrats who have been pushing a hoax.' Well, the hoax is not a hoax. It’s what Robert Mueller spent six hours the other day detailing. It’s what the Senate Intel Committee now details in a long report with more to come. I don’t know how you can in good faith sit in denial about what is happening and what’s going to happen in the next election."
