Republican politicians and cable news "experts" have a new talking point about President Trump’s Ukraine scandal: If you weren’t born in the U.S., the government shouldn’t trust your testimony.
On Tuesday, White House official Alexander Vindman will tell a House committee that he was present for Trump’s now infamous July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, and that he considered it so harmful to U.S. interests he twice reported the call to a superior.
Vindman, a lieutenant colonel and Purple Heart recipient who is the National Security Council’s expert on Ukraine, noted in his opening statement that he'd fled to the U.S. with his family from Ukraine as a refugee when he was 3 years old.
The GOP now wants to use that fact to discredit Vindman’s testimony.
"It seems very clear that he is incredibly concerned about Ukrainian defense. I don't know that he's concerned about American policy,” former Rep. Sean Duffy, a Tea Party Republican from Wisconsin, said on CNN this morning.
(Duffy, a paid political commentator for CNN, is also a known conspiracy theorist, who has tried to downplay Dylann Roof’s murder of nine black churchgoers in 2015, and previously claimed that an aide to Hillary Clinton has ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.)

Nancy is calling a vote because this isn't working
I said zero for three scared to try for four because she was. The failure of Schiff yet again and the GOP refusal to cooperate forced her hand
Lot of dems still scared to vote but they will get in line
And it will done out in the open going forward saving you the trouble of posting leaks
I knew you would be triggered. As well as mocked. It worked.
Hiding exculpatory evidence is special
Lick that boot statist
The prosecution hid evidence to get him to do so
