Coons: It’s Just Not True Trump’s Been Tougher on Russia Than Anybody

EXCERPT:

BERMAN: "The White House will say and has said repeatedly, and the President has said it himself, 'I’ve been tougher on Russia than anybody.'"
COONS: "It’s just not true."
BERMAN: "Well, let me just tell you what they say. Twice they've carried out these missile attacks on Assad and Syria, obviously a client of Russia and Vladimir Putin. The President has signed on, albeit belatedly, the sanctions on Russia and the like. They say they’ve been tough."
COONS: "Look, I complimented President Trump for taking sanctions action against Russia when he did. I’ll remind you that bill passed the Senate 98-2. That's a veto-proof majority if I ever saw one. The President opposed our pushing him to take those sanctions actions, but he did."
