WASHINGTON ― Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine compared rival Donald Trump’s comments on alleged Russian hacking to the Watergate scandal on Sunday. Intelligence officials have indicated that a July hack of the Democratic National Committee’s servers was the work of the Russian government. “A president was impeached and had to resign over an attack on the DNC during a presidential election in 1972,” Kaine said. “The important thing is the content that was given to the public.”Trump’s kind words for Putin have raised concerns, as have his advisers’ connections to Russia. Editor’s note: Donald Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist and birther who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims — 1.6 billion members of an entire religion — from entering the U.S.
