Seth Meyers takes a break from breaking news to check in on Republican California Congressman Dana Rohrabacher. Who the hell is Rohrabacher, and why he was famously dubbed “Putin’s favorite senator?”
Putin does tend to select a certain type of American politician to befriend. When Republican Congressman Dana Rohrabacher isn’t forwarding his position on dinosaur farts and global warming, he can often be found sharing the theory that fully half of the world sees a man in the moon, while the other half of earth’s population sees a rabbit. I confess, I see neither figure. Am I gazing at the crater-pocked back side of the moon?
We take the weed-loving, pro-Russia, guitar-torturing goofball lightly at our own peril. Putin’s favorite Congressman has been staunchly defending the Russian government from the ‘farcical accusation’ that they meddled in our election! Rohrabacher has an interesting, long history with Russia, Putin and several of the major players in Trump’s Russian melodrama.
