Booker: Trump Threw the Intel Community Under the Bus Again with Today’s Walk Back

RUSH EXCERPT:

BOOKER: "It is absolutely contradicting the intelligence community again. He basically threw them under the bus yet again. There’s been a conclusion, a consensus of the intelligence community. A conclusion of the Senate intelligence committee in a bipartisan fashion of the Russians attacking him and for him to say this person, that person is undermining us, our safety. There’s something interesting about this. This is a president never loathe to heap insults and attacks on people across the board. He attacked the Canadians with tariffs, a national security waver saying that the Canadians and what they’re doing to us in trade is a national security issue. He’s attacked the allies calling people in the eu foes. He has had these kind of harsh words across the board for so many people and coming to Vladimir Putin, when it comes to someone who has attacked the United States in cyber attacks, on going attacking the united States, who’s killed our — two individuals on British soil, who’s annexed Crimea, ongoing hostilities in Ukraine right now, this is a person who’s a bad actor and a threat to us. He cannot bring himself to criticize him even to the extent he’s willing to insult, undermine and degrade U.S. Intelligence in order to institute — protect his pal Vladimir Putin. That’s unacceptable for all Americans. This isn’t about partisanship. This is patriotism and glad to hear the colleagues condemning what the president said."
