President Donald Trump's lack of "moral clarity" when it comes to Russia's war on Ukraine is "infuriating," a Republican congressman admitted.

GOP Rep. Don Bacon was asked by CNN's Manu Raju about whether Trump had the "moral character" to be president. While Bacon didn't answer the direct question, instead confessing to a desire to "skirt" around it, he did hint he has "private thoughts" that might be more "judgmental."

"I think I'll skirt around that. I gotta be careful about judging," he said. "I'm very reluctant to be judgmental publicly, maybe I got my private thoughts."

But Bacon did say something about Trump rubbed him the wrong way, specifically how Trump has numerous times asked why Ukraine "started" the war with Russia.

"That does infuriate me," he said. "It does bother me." He added that Trump must not have an accurate picture of what's going on in the global conflict.
