Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin (D., Ill.) on Friday castigated President Donald Trump and compared Russian President Vladimir Putin favorably to him before the two leaders were set to meet at the G-20 summit in Germany.

"Senator, what's the most positive thing you have to say about Vladimir Putin and the most negative?" MSNBC's Mark Halperin asked Durbin on "Morning Joe."
