They sure sounded different before they completely lost power.

As you’re well aware, Democrats are sounding the “Russia” alarm over a bunch of stuff that happened when Obama was still president:

Top Democrats fear Russia will interfere in 2018 midterm elections https://t.co/r794vP6mc1 — Washington Examiner (@dcexaminer) July 14, 2018

If there’s no “blue wave” in November, the Dems will blame Russia instead of their open borders, abortion cheering, tax cut-slamming messaging that middle America finds repugnant, but I digress.

For an explanation why Russia may have felt emboldened, maybe all we need to do is look at what the party in power was saying about them a few years ago. Do these sound like people who believed Russia was a threat to the Republic?

Pres. @BarackObama in 2012: "Gov. Romney, I'm glad that you recognize that Al Qaeda is a threat, because a few months ago when you were asked what's the biggest geopolitical threat facing America, you said Russia… The 1980s are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back." pic.twitter.com/pknOWHeNjm — Fox News (@FoxNews) July 15, 2018

Romney, who calls Russia our "No. 1 geopolitical foe," doesn't seem to realize it's the 21st century. #RomneyNotReady http://t.co/xcvhOAFS — The Democrats (@TheDemocrats) October 22, 2012

There's no way Russia would have done anything to us. Hillary solved all of our problems with them. She hit the 'reset' button. Remember: pic.twitter.com/Q3pRIeJgTh — MARK SIMONE (@MarkSimoneNY) March 14, 2018

And let’s not forget Obama’s “more flexibility” promise that Medvedev said he’d “transmit to Vladimir”:

And even though the Obama administration knew about Russia’s meddling in 2016 (Obama said he told Putin to “cut it out”), no Democrats, including Hillary Clinton, thought it was a big deal because they were oh-so-certain that she was going to trounce Trump in the election:

Every time things aren’t going his way, Donald Trump says it’s “rigged.” #DebateNight https://t.co/QuxoTiAXM1 — Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) October 20, 2016

Donald Trump refused to say that he’d respect the results of this election. By doing that, he’s threatening our democracy. — Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) October 21, 2016

The fact is that if Hillary Clinton won nobody would even be talking about Russia’s meddling (that’s been going on for decades) right now.
