MSNBC’s Welker: The ‘Russia Narrative Is Clearly Taking a Toll’ on Trump

EXCERPT:

WELKER: "The reality is, Chris, as you know and I know very well these are stories that have been highly vetted, reported out by news outlets like 'The Washington Post' and 'New York Times'. Look, the broader point here is that this Russia narrative is clearly taking a toll on this president. Take a look at his latest approval rating. This is the latest from The Washington Post/ABC News poll which found that he has a 36 percent approval rating. That is the lowest in 70 years for a president who is marking six months in office. So, this is something the White House is undoubtedly going to try to turn around. They remain on defense when it comes to this Russia probe, Chris, amid mounting revelations almost on a daily basis."
