Fox News' Wallace calls out GOP senator for pushing debunked conspiracy
Fox News host Chris Wallace pushed back against Louisiana GOP Sen. John Kennedy, who repeated a debunked conspiracy theory promoted by President Trump that suggests Ukraine interfered in the 2016 presidential election on behalf of Trump’s Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton.
“Right, but it could also be Ukraine,’” Kennedy said. “I'm not saying that I know one way or the other.” “Based on questions and statements I have heard, some of you on this committee appear to believe that Russia and its security services did not conduct a campaign against our country — and that perhaps, somehow, for some reason, Ukraine did.
“Ms. Hill is entitled to her opinion but no rebuttal evidence was allowed to be offered,” Kennedy told Wallace. “Republicans in the House wanted to call a witness, a DNC political operative who lobbied the Ukrainian Embassy to be involved, to get involved in the 2016 election.”
