Georgia’s GOP Chair scrutinized over Putin tweets

GOP Chair David Shafer criticizes U.S. for not supporting Putin’s United National resolution

ATLANTA, Ga. (CBS46) – Georgia’s Republican party chairman is under fire from fellow Republicans after tweeting statements that say show support to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

In a series of weekend tweets, Georgia GOP Chairman David Shafer set off online backlash as he is accused of defending Putin.

It all started with tweets about a Russian resolution to the United Nations asking to condemn Ukraine for “Nazi-ism.”

“Whatever you think of President Trump, neither Russia nor China invaded any countries during his administration. Putin did not invade Ukraine to “de Nazify” the country or even to aid the breakaway Donbas “republics.” He invaded because he sensed American and Western weakness,” he continued.
