Watch Max Boot trash talk 'obsequious' Lindsey Graham for applauding Trump's 'resolve' to not meet with Putin

Appearing on CNN, conservative Max Boot -- a frequent critic of President Donald Trump -- admitted he almost rolled his eyes when asked about South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham's support for Trump's muted response to Russian encroachment in the Ukraine by announcing he would not meet with Vladimir Putin at the G-8 conference.

Speaking with host Kate Bolduan, Boot -- whose expertise is in national security -- was pressed to address Graham applauding Trump's "resolve."

"I'm rolling my eyes at Lindsey Graham's latest obsequiousness to Donald Trump," Boot began. "The notion of canceling this meeting as showing resolve is laughable. There's probably still going to be a meeting although the announced one supposedly will not take place."

Boot wasn't done attacking Trump's boosters.

"It was also stunning for me to read that statement issued by Sarah Sanders -- and obviously written by Trump himself -- blaming the so-called Russia witch hunt for deteriorating relationships," the conservative offered. " Saying investigating the attack on the 2016 election is trying to get to the bottom of what the Russians did is hurting our relationship with Russia. That is, as [former NSA analyst Sam Vinograd] said, the most pro-Russian viewpoint imaginable."

"I would add seeing the video from the summit with Putin and MBS [ Saudi Prince bin Salman] giving each other the big handshake and smiles and bro love, that makes me sick to my stomach," Boot continued. "These are guys with blood on their hands, and they are cavorting and happy as clams because they have gotten away with their crimes and Donald Trump is not holding them to account."
