When discussing President Donald on Tuesday, MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle appeared to have a breakthrough regarding the president's relationship to his Russian counterpart.
"The only people he's never said anything bad about: Ivanka [Trump], himself and Vladimir Putin," Ruhle noted.
Earlier in the segment, the host bemoaned the president's decision not to impose new sanctions despite his own CIA director admitting to British press yesterday that Russians are likely to attack this year's midterms.
"[Director] Mike Pompeo himself yesterday said he believes Russians will continue to try to interfere in future elections," Ruhle said. "If for optics alone, why wouldn't the White House want to continue this while they're in the hot seat? Wouldn't that be a great argument to make? 'There's nothing to see, Russia has nothing over me, just slapped them with sanctions.'"
