Democratic House Member from New York Ritchie Torres was recently confronted during a town hall by constituents demanding an investigation into whether, as investigative journalist Seymour Hersh recently revealed, the United States was responsible for the September 2022 bombing of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline. Torres deflected and distracted form the question, bizarrely suggesting that the U.S. could not conduct an investigation of a European pipeline and then calling his questioners “Putin puppets.”
Guest host Aaron Maté breaks down the unbelievable cowardice on display in the non-response to the Hersh story exhibited by elected officials and the media.

I wish I was there to shake that constituent’s hand.
So now we know Ritchie Torres is a shill and a liar.
Oil? It transports gas. Thank you from Germany.
The total control of the west mainstream media is mindblowing.
Its coming to a boiling point! American citizens are sick of their corrupt government!!!
fuck yeah ireland
Russia is a bigger country.
Russia is a powerful country.
Russia was selling gas to a smaller country called Germany via Norstream pipeline.
'Somehow' the pipeline went KABOOM!
Nothing to see here.
Calling anyone who challenges these people Russian assets or bots is highly insulting.
I'm not easily moved by politics.
These two videos however really move me.
No one outside my front door is talking about scenarios of appending nuclear doom, nor Nordstream.
If it's the silence before the storm I don't know, but it sure feels like it.
Thousands of mainly old and poor Europeans will pay the ultimate price for this act of war, dying of cold in some of the richest, most developed nations the world has ever seen.
But at least the share price of some big American gas companies will get a boost.
CIA plants all over Europe hoging all the power while the sheep with pigs of a brain believe that they are living in a democracy.
This "constituent" is delusional if he thinks that him demanding something will do ANYthing.
Actually the Pulitzer Prize has been evaluated to the point of irrelevance
These fraud democrat war mongers are disgusting
Compressed natural gas, not oil.
The EU is as corrupt as the USA and Ukraine. They’re leading us to a nuclear war with Russia and China; because of America policies. Starting wars based on lies and deceit for their own interests. It’s all about power, control, corruption and greed.
Cy is a credible source but unless they can confirm his evidence they won't touch it. As Reuters explained it, he's a pulitzer prize winning investigative journalist but they haven't been able to confirm his story. Confirm as in having the identity of his witness and confirming the story with him.
I doubt his witness will make himself available to the hacks at the NYT. Maybe he will talk to reuters, who knows.
I mean…. C'Mon!!!! ✡✡✡ obviously!!!
The question is, who does the US serve? I think the US is the thug for international capital, and the EU leaders know that, so they say nothing.
Tar and Feathers, ladies and gentlemen. Tars and Feathers. Break 'em out and use 'em. Like…nowish.
We can’t investigate… we can only blow shit up under the "international rules-based order"… So thoroughly CORRUPT!!
Mick and Clair are AWESOME!!
great video
Victoria Nudelman.
I like how they sent a Cop to silence the reporter. The American Gestapo is REAL…
That guy asking him does a great job.
I think USA need some freedom and democracy…
Mick Wallace and Clare Daly are heroes for telling the truth. Why are the EU Parliament seats empty, are the EU representatives all out to lunch or maybe the don’t want to hear the truth?
Sickening to see the death cult in action. You have committed an act of war on me and there will be consequences for the US empire.
Torres is the same guy who proposed covid camps and banning unvaxxed from public transportation in NYC.
The roads are racist "booty gig"
Don’t for a second think these freaks in power are above destroying infrastructure in their own country, or above starting a world war. They are completely removed from any of the risk. Left or right
That's slander by a congressman. Sue his ass.
Jens Stoltenberg is a war criminal just like his father, Thorvald was. I hope their name will be remembered the same way Quisling was
I was going to jet but I'm glad I stuck around for new guy. I Needed to hear this story. Jose was a bad ass.
We have the authority to invade any country we want to take resources from but we somehow can't investigate a pipeline we blew up? Sure.
You know at this point I think I am on Putin's side. F**k it I'm a Putin lover. Go Putin! At least hes the lesser of two evils
The fact is we don't need to investigate it in Europe, we need to investigate here in the US. Pose the questions to the Navy and the government who approved the destruction.
Of course they'll deny it…
It’s astonishing that instead of refuting allegations with their own facts, the powers that be just deflect by accusing people of being putin apologists. This alone should give people pause for thought, it’s almost an admission of guilt.
That man speaking is fabulous !
Stop worrying, and learn to love the bomb!
