Former Republican Congressman, Joe Walsh, has been an ardent Trump supporter throughout this insane election process, but it appears that his love for Cheeto Hitler might be waning.
Although Donald Trump has dismissed all of the CIA’s reports as false, lies even, many Republicans are taking the agency’s side and a lot of them are Trump supporters. Joe Walsh is probably the last person you’d expect to be on that list, but evidently, he’s had a moment of clarity because last night he went on a Twitter rant that actually appears to be reasonable!
Congressional Republicans, the evidence of Russia tampering with our election is too great now to ignore.
Investigate.
Do the right thing.

Yes voter fraud is a big problem & we need Voter ID, but come on guys, a foreign government messing with our elections?
Can’t be tolerated
— Joe Walsh (@WalshFreedom) December 10, 2016
It will be utterly disgraceful if Republicans & Conservatives keep their mouths shut in the wake of what the CIA is saying about Russia.
— Joe Walsh (@WalshFreedom) December 10, 2016
Hey @SpeakerRyan & @SenateMajLdr, is it ok for Russia to mess with our elections?
Do you agree with @realDonaldTrump that the CIA is lying?
— Joe Walsh (@WalshFreedom) December 10, 2016
Republican silence will be tantamount to treason.
Call 4 an investigation. Foreign governments can’t pick our President.#RussianHackers
— Joe Walsh (@WalshFreedom) December 10, 2016
Probably the best point he made was this next one:
If there was evidence that the Russians helped Hillary win, my fellow conservatives would be yelling for an investigation.#RussianHackers

He continues:
I never agree with @chuckschumer but he’s correct on this one. Where is his Republican colleague joining his call? https://t.co/bKEolLmQvi

NBC reports Trump has picked Exxon Mobil CEO Rex Tillerson as Sec of State.
He’s a good buddy of Putin’s. https://t.co/tsYmGmjacD

So wait…the CIA says Russia messed with our election to help Trump win and Trump attacks…the CIA?
Not Russia? He goes after the CIA?
— Joe Walsh (@WalshFreedom) December 10, 2016
The protests, the harassing electors, the recounts…that’s all “not accepting the election result” bullshit.
But Russia? That’s a big deal
— Joe Walsh (@WalshFreedom) December 10, 2016
Where is the Republican outrage today?
Where?
This isn’t a partisan issue. It’s an American issue.#RussianHackers
— Joe Walsh (@WalshFreedom) December 10, 2016
Call me naive, but the one person who should call for an investigation is Trump.
No foreign country should ever mess with OUR elections.
— Joe Walsh (@WalshFreedom) December 10, 2016
There’s evidence Russia messed around with our election, but cuz our guy won, people on my side are ok with that?
That’s so fucking wrong.
— Joe Walsh (@WalshFreedom) December 10, 2016
So……………..we got a real problem if our soon to be President sides with Russia over our own intelligence agencies.
Hello.
— Joe Walsh (@WalshFreedom) December 10, 2016
Normally, I don’t agree with anything Joe Walsh says, but he is absolutely right here. We can’t allow Trump or Republicans to ignore the CIA’s findings. In exactly eight days, the Electoral College will place their votes. There MUST be an investigation before this occurs. Trump cannot be allowed to take office.
