“What I see here is disgusting," Senator Thom #Tillis (R) told @jrpsaki on @MSNOWNews, referring to President #Trump's two top aides — James Blair and Chris LaCivita — travelling to Banja Luka to support #Dodik's party ahead of 🇧🇦's 4 October election. Tillis noted that, as the Republican lead of the Senate #NATO Observer Group, he has been to 🇧🇦 and met Dodik: "I've met with #Dodik. I know he's a bad guy, and I know he's part of the chess game that #Putin would love to have after he takes a piece in #Ukraine, to move through #Moldova and basically re-emerge or try to re-establish the Russian empire." Tillis said he had heard some Republicans argue it is normal to give advice to other countries. His response: "Not to Putin and the Russia-aligned. What we have here is advising someone who has been trying to destroy the tenuous situation we have post-Kosovo. He is not in power now, but he is the most powerful person in Republika Srpska. That is the problem. We're trying our best to survive in the Senate, and we've got two of the most prominent advisers in the country — out of the country — advising a Putin-aligned leader." 🔗 youtu.be/6cncfIF6hSI
