Democrat Ted Kennedy Asked Russia To Intervene In 1984 Election To Defeat Reagan. Remember?

Ted Kennedy asked Russia to intervene in the 1984 election to help defeat President Ronald Reagan.

According to a report by Forbes:

Picking his way through the Soviet archives that Boris Yeltsin had just thrown open, in 1991 Tim Sebastian, a reporter for the London Times, came across an arresting memorandum. Composed in 1983 by Victor Chebrikov, the top man at the KGB, the memorandum was addressed to Yuri Andropov, the top man in the entire USSR. The subject: Sen. Edward Kennedy.

“On 9-10 May of this year,” the May 14 memorandum explained, “Sen. Edward Kennedy’s close friend and trusted confidant [John] Tunney was in Moscow.” (Tunney was Kennedy’s law school roommate and a former Democratic senator from California.) “The senator charged Tunney to convey the following message, through confidential contacts, to the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, Y. Andropov.”

Kennedy’s message was simple. He proposed an unabashed quid pro quo. Kennedy would lend Andropov a hand in dealing with President Reagan. In return, the Soviet leader would lend the Democratic Party a hand in challenging Reagan in the 1984 presidential election. “The only real potential threats to Reagan are problems of war and peace and Soviet-American relations,” the memorandum stated. “These issues, according to the senator, will without a doubt become the most important of the election campaign.”

Traitors stick together

Democrats Cheered Ted Kennedy as he asked Russia to Intervene In the 1984 Election to beat Reagan.

We all know democrats are super-hypocrites so this doesn't surprise me one bit.Let's face it. Dems and Libs get away with murder. Never even a slap on the wrist. If it weren't for double standards, the left would have no standards at all. One thing you have to admit about Teddy, the "Lion of the Senate", no one could run faster with his pants around his ankles than Ted Kennedy.
