Maddow Wheels Out Neocon Nuland To Declare Russia Is Interfering In 2024 Election

MSNBC's Rachel Maddow can't let an election go by without wheeling out the usual cadre of tired old neocons, with the latest to appear on her show being former State Department official Victoria Nuland. As expected, she sought to lump Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Vladimir Putin together in a segment on 'disinformation' this week.

"He's at it again!" Nuland claimed of Putin, resurrecting talking points heavily featured in the prior two elections as well. She accused Musk of being in essence a useful idiot of the Kremlin, allowing Putin to use "sophisticated tools" on his X platform to 'interfere' and influence voters. "And he has more sophisticated tools... He's got a brand new, very powerful tool, which is Elon Musk and X," Nuland claimed of Putin (and by extension Trump, according to her talking points).
