RIP to the Russiagate Liberals

The Russiagate conspiracy theory, which claimed that Russia was behind Donald Trump's 2016 election victory, has been dealt a significant blow in Florida's Democratic Senate primary. Retired Army Lt. Col. Alex Vindman, a candidate for the Senate, lost to Angie Nixon in a primary race that marked the end of an era for liberals who were heavily invested in the conspiracy theory. Vindman's defeat underscores the futility of relying on baseless accusations rather than addressing the real issues facing America.
