“[In a CNN interview with Jake Tapper, after Trump said Russia "has been fine on Ukraine":] This is absolutely disgraceful coming from our president, and as a Republican, I'm embarrassed about it. Our president's morally blind on this war. He's pitched his lot in with the dictator and the war criminal. … Putin hates us. The president doesn't see that. … But to say that Russia's been fine on Ukraine and they bomb cities every night, I was there a month ago. They're bombing gas stations, restaurants, shopping malls. They're committing terrorism against Ukrainians. … The president, I do believe, is aiding and abetting Putin. And he's undermining Ukraine. Do I call that treason? No, I don't know his motives, but he's dead wrong. … The president's leverage in this Congress is shot.
