MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace suggested on Friday that Senate Homeland Security Chairman Ron Johnson, R-Wisc., Is “in cahoots” with Russia to defeat Joe Biden in the November election.
On Friday, director of the National Center for Security and Safety Services William Evanina issued a statement warning that several countries could try to put their thumbs on the scale in November, including Russia.
“We note that Russia is using a variety of measures to denigrate First Vice President Biden and what it sees as an anti-Russia ‘establishment,'” Evanina wrote. “This is consistent with Moscow’s public criticism of him when he was vice-president for his role in the Obama administration’s policy on Ukraine and it supports the anti-Putin opposition in Russia … “Some Kremlin-linked actors are also trying to promote President Trump’s candidacy on social media and Russian television.”

Evanina also mentioned a “pro-Russian Ukrainian parliamentarian” who allegedly “spread corruption allegations” to undermine Biden’s candidacy.
Speaking during a panel discussion, Wallace Johnson, who investigated Biden’s ties with Ukrainian natural gas company Burisma, asked MSNBC analyst Jeremy Bash.
“Russia is actively working to ‘denigrate’ Joe Biden,” Wallace said. “My question to you is Ron Johnson, a Wisconsin senator who is actively working to denigrate Joe Biden. Are they in cahoots?”

“I do not know if they are in cahoots,” Bash replied, “but a senator, a U.S. citizen, has the right to participate in the political process.
Former KGB operative Vladimir Putin does not have the right. “
Fox News reached out to Johnson’s office for comment.
