In yet another really bizarre episode of our political life, John Brennan actually told Rachel Maddow that he DIDN’T mean to accuse Trump of committing TREASON when he literally said that Trump had committed treason.
Check out the short clip below:
ARE YOU SERIOUS.
More than 94 THOUSAND people retweeted his tweet where he said Trump committed treason:
Donald Trump’s press conference performance in Helsinki rises to & exceeds the threshold of “high crimes & misdemeanors.” It was nothing short of treasonous. Not only were Trump’s comments imbecilic, he is wholly in the pocket of Putin. Republican Patriots: Where are you???

And he changes his mind, coincidentally after Trump revokes his clearance?!?! LOL!! This is just absurd. Even Rachel Maddow was like WTF?!
It’s still unclear what he meant when you watch the entire clip in complete context. Here’s the entire segment of Brennan spinning Rachel Maddow like a top:
LOL! I have no idea what’s going on anymore. Also, #MAGA!!
UPDATE:
I watched it a little closer and I realized that Brennan actually blames his ethnicity for the tweet!!
“Sometimes my Irish comes out, in my tweets…”
LOL!!! Man I wish I could do that. Sometimes my Mexican comes out. Wait, that sounds like a Bill Clinton-like situation, forget I said anything…
