An MSNBC panel on Tuesday morning noted that President Donald raises more than a few warning signs.
"Donald Trump does the bidding for [Russian president] Vladimir Putin again," host Joe Scarborough said, responding to thew news. "Donald Trump tries to make Vladimir Putin's life easier again."
"What do you think about Donald Trump once again allowing Vladimir Putin to skate and not implementing sanctions that are so badly needed to send Russia a tough signal?" the host asked guest Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT).
The senator said that although he's "glad" CIA Director Mike Pompeo issued a warning about Russian attempts to meddle in this year's midterm elections yesterday, the president is sending mixed signals.
"The Russians are still deeply aligned with Donald Trump's political future," the senator said, noting that Russian bots as recently as this past week were promoting pro-Trump hashtags.
