It's like Joseph McCarthy came back to life and became president

Trump crowd finds a new target to lock up: Feinstein

See the old movie with Frank Sinatra, Angela Lansbury, Janet Leigh and Lawrence Harvey. Presidential candidate, America firster is actually working for the Russians. So much like Trump but not nearly as stupid and crude - but always talking about how patriotic he was.
