Chomsky: With U.S. History of Overthrowing Govts, Outrage over Russian Hacking Claims is Laughable

Since Trump's inauguration, his presidency has been engulfed by a media scandal and investigations into whether the Trump campaign colluded with Russia to influence the 2016 election. But is the Democratic Party's obsession with this question distracting the public from the Trump administration's actions? And, given the United States' long history of influencing other countries' elections and overthrowing democratically elected leaders, is the outrage over Russia's alleged interference laughable? That's the opinion of world-renowned linguist, author and political dissident Noam Chomsky. For more, we sit down with Chomsky on the day his new book is released. It's titled "Requiem for the American Dream: The 10 Principles of Concentration of Wealth & Power."
