Divided Democrats Agree: Russia Threatens the 2020 Election

I read the Mueller report the day it came out. Three things were clear: A hostile foreign government attacked our 2016 election, Trump welcomed their help, and Trump obstructed the investigation into that attack. I agree with @NAACP—it's time to begin impeachment proceedings. pic.twitter.com/W0iCN9Cv7k

“They’re doing it as we sit here.”

That was Robert Mueller’s response when asked if the Russian government will attack our elections again. Our democracy is in danger. Let’s take action and pass my election security bill now.

.@BernieSanders: "Unlike Trump, I do not have an affinity for autocrats or dictators, whether they are in Russia or Saudi Arabia. My sympathy is with Democratic countries who believe in human rights" https://t.co/BVUsSWNsL3 #DemDebate pic.twitter.com/lhmX0PRXsv

Russia attacked our democracy — and the current administration has no strategy to stop it from happening again. We have to protect our elections. The heart of our democracy is at risk. https://t.co/HnssxKRsix

Russia undermined our democracy by interfering in the 2016 election. That's a fact. We need a President who will stand up to the Kremlin, push back against Putin, and take immediate steps to ensure the security of our elections.

Our next commander in chief needs to take seriously all security threats—including attacks launched on a digital battlefield. Mueller was clear today: Russia interfered in our 2016 election, and they're already doing it again. We need a president who will hold them accountable. pic.twitter.com/9v5D5avL4O

Our national security also includes online threats. It’s never been more clear that Russia took to the digital battlefield to attack the core of our democracy—and rather than stand strong for our country and our ideals, Trump and his associates welcomed aid from Russia.

When asked about the extent of Russia’s involvement in influencing the 2016 elections, Mueller’s first words were “computer crimes.” All the more reason we need a cyber wall, not a 5th-century border wall.
