Nick Flor, University of New Mexico professor, tweets “’This is petty, political payback…’ Okay, look. You lied 24/7 for FOUR YEARS about having proof of President Trump’s collusion with Russia. LIED TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. L-I-E-D. It’s not payback. It’s inevitable.”

Greg Price, senior digital strategist at X Strategies LLC tweeted a similar critique.

“You went on TV for two years and said that you had personally seen evidence of Trump colluding with Russia while being told in closed door hearings by intel officials that there was no evidence of it,” He said. “You should resign in disgrace.”
