The former US Director of National Intelligence James Clapper thinks Russians have some sort of biological predilection to be an untrustworthy bunch. I wish I was making that up, but sadly, I’m not.
Clapper said it during last Sunday’s episode of Meet The Press on NBC, during a response to a question about Jared Kushner’s ties to Moscow. The Russians are “typically, almost genetically driven to co-opt, penetrate, gain favor, whatever” — was the exact quote.
There’s great irony in that comment by Clapper, with his own record of perjury, implying that an entire ethnicity can’t be trusted. So, of course, widespread outrage followed the blatantly xenophobic comment.
Nah, I’m only joking. No one actually noticed or cared. Chuck Todd, the interviewer, let the comment slide without even acknowledging that Clapper had said something untoward.
If there was a debate about Clapper’s comment and it was deemed somehow acceptable, that would be bad enough — but it’s actually worse than that, because anti-Russian sentiment is so deeply ingrained in the American psyche, that no one even notices when a high profile figure like Clapper makes a comment about the “genetics” of Russians in an effort to brand them as inherently devious and conniving.

They are no more untrustworthy than you, Mr. Clapper, or anyone else in our stinking government.
In fact, I probably trust the Russians more than you and my own government, excluding President Trump.
Clapper is driven to be a liar, as he lied several time to congress.
Some groups are “untrustworthy”.
Some groups are “inscrutable”.
Some groups are “lazy”.
Clapper works for the Party that supports segregation in college when it comes to dorms and graduation ceremonies.
But the Republicans are the ones with a “problem” in this area. The media told me so.
ShariaCrats are ‘genetically driven’ to be untrustworthy — and no one even blinks
Russia is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma - Winston Churchill.

Point being Stalin’s purges forever altered the DNA of Russia. Naturally Clapper wouldn’t face the same repercussions of Jimmy the Greek.
He’s just saying that because Russians are white Christians.
Bet he loved Russians during the Soviet-era.
shariacrats ... love that, stealing that from you.
He must have some Aryan blood in him.
Who are closer and better pals to the Russians?
Obama, Clinton and the DNC and the CPUSA.
I wonder if he thinks that about people who are bald?
Imagine if he said, “African Americans are typically, almost genetically driven to co-opt, penetrate, gain favor, whatever.”
What would the response be?
Outrage, and rightly so.
Clapper ignores the emerging and important field of epigenetics. Understandably, as this will be the undoing of the homos.
Sex is not the organizing principle the Left thinks it is.
Clapper has a loose screw.
To be fair, he feels the same about any Americans who aren't Democrats.

Does this mean that all Races have a genetic predisposition for behavior that is common with them?
No, idiot, no.
After years of communism, they don’t trust easily. Is that a surprise?
What about Muslim-inbreds? Are they trustworthy?
