As a former CIA officer and a Congressman on the House Intelligence Committee, I can affirmatively say there is nothing about agreeing with a thug like Putin that puts America First.
The President is wrong. Russia interfered in the 2016 election and seeks to undermine our democracy.
Since 2016, I have called on Obama and Trump to take action against Putin. We should not start trade wars with our allies and play nice with communist tyrants. hurd.house.gov/media-center/e…
I've seen Russian intelligence manipulate many people over my professional career and I never would have thought that the US President would become one of the ones getting played by old KGB hands.
To all our allies: there are still many of us in Congress that know Russia is not just an adversary to the United States but to freedom loving people everywhere.
