After Russians hack DNC, White House blames the Republicans

The White House reacted to reports that Russian hackers penetrated the Democratic National Committee's computer network by complaining that Republicans have blocked additional money for funds to enhance the nation's cybersecurity.

"This administration takes our nation's cybersecurity quite seriously," press secretary Josh Earnest said, referring to a proposal in the president's budget that would increase resources to guard the nation against hacks of this nature.

"Republicans for the first time in 40 years declined to even hold a hearing on that specific budget proposal, which means that the president has put forward a specific plan, laid out exactly how he believes we should pay for [enhancing] our nation's cybersecurity, and Republicans in the House and Senate have indicated they don't even want to talk about it," Earnest said. "So, that's rather disappointing."

That is why nothing gets done. "Not My Fault" "They Did It To Me", is that not what the "Bullies" always said growing up?
