Perry Bacon Jr. Admits That the Media Desperately Tried to Tie Trump to Russia Without Any Evidence at All

TRANSCRIPT:

BACON JR.: "I’ll be honest, I’m a little bit worried — I don’t wanna get into a Russia zone where the media suggests it’s so far out there that unless we have definitive proof that Donald Trump did illegal things with 14-year-olds that there’s no — there probably is a story here. He is acting — he’s acting like someone guilty, but we never — let’s be honest though, you know, you and I were covering the Russia thing a fair amount, probably, in 2017, 2018, we never really — we never really proved the thing we were sort of hinting at. that maybe Putin and Trump are cheating and so on. It was sort of obvious that Putin wanted Trump to win, but I’m not sure we got the sort of smoking gun. So I think people should cover this, cover this aggressively, but not — it shouldn’t turn into like every hour on MSNBC is Epstein."
