Maddow: Threats of Russian Official Against Ruben Gallego Should Be Taken Seriously

‘These are repeated violent threats against a sitting member of Congress from a country that is poised to invade one of our allies’

RUSH EXCERPT:

MADDOW: “That same Russian politician has gone back on Russian TV to say congressman gallego deserves to be convicted in a Russian court of what crime I don’t know. He says once that verdict is handed down congressman gallego’s sentence should be carried out by the same guy who, quote, ice axed trotsky to death. So he should be ax murdered. Again, maybe this is just domestic audience nonsense from Russian politicians but at a certain point no matter what the point of all of this is for them it sort of has to be taken seriously, right? These are repeated violent threats against a sitting member of Congress from a country that is poised to invade one of our allies.”
