This is obviously not the case, undermines @StateDept credibility. Can't imagine Tillerson wants to be attached to this. https://t.co/pYQ9ayyVZA

What? There is no data to support this false statement. State Department should not be pulled into this kind of distortion of the facts. https://t.co/TLXFTzn3bW

Good point. It sounds like a typical Kremlin “up is down” statement to spin blatantly bad news. https://t.co/6wgQgerAzN

Russia, it's not you. It's us. Our friends don't see you're much nicer in private meetings. You don't really mean to abuse our democracy https://t.co/K6XumuXc6R

This is like saying prison is meant to improve relations w/ criminals
Sanctions are a vehicle used to punish and deter future interference

The title of the bill is "Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act." How stupid do they think people are?

Is this the actual state department's account or a parody? This can't be real. Sanctions are to improve relations with Russia? #Orwellian

Holy hell! Who's in charge at the State Department? Dr. Strangelove? The sanctions are meant to PUNISH #Russia for hacking our elections. pic.twitter.com/b5O9q4ROZ9
