The debate about alleged Russian hacking and if it might have had any influence on the election outcome continues, and the HuffPo’s Sam Stein reports that certain GOP leaders in Congress said nothing about it before the election:

Three GOP leaders were urged by D colleagues to do a bipartisan condemnation of Russia's hacking. They each refused https://t.co/Vw4YIofeyN

Priebus, McConnell and Ryan all rejected or ignored pleas to further condemn Russia prior to the election https://t.co/Vw4YIofeyN

First of all, who’s ultimately in charge, and what that person have to say about it?

Obama, Hillary, Kerry, Wasserman, Brazile failed to condemn Russia for 8 years (Crimea, Syria, Cyber attacks,etc.) https://t.co/wei5pqCQth

Here’s a fair question:

What was your party doing about Russia before the election, Sam? https://t.co/GUqHs7wfTA

Well, for starters, President Obama was mocking any claims that the upcoming election might be in any way “rigged”:

LOL! Remember when Obama was mocking TRUMP for this? https://t.co/2akkTyZ2Gg
