Sandra Smith: President Obama Too Called Putin Back in 2012

EXCERPT:

SMITH: “Here’s what the president’s critics are not including in that criticism. Back in 2012, then-President Obama, he called Putin to congratulate him on his reelection. And as Press Secretary Sarah Sanders noted yesterday, several U.S. allies did the same this year.”

HUCKABEE SANDERS: "The President, once again, has maintained that it’s important for us to have a dialogue with Russia so that we can focus on some areas of shared interests. ... At the same time, we’re going to continue to be tough on them. The President joined other countries in these calls. Both Germany and France have reached out, as well as President Obama in 2012."
