McCain criticizes Trump for congratulating Putin on his election victory.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/trump-congratulates-putin-on-his-reelection-kremlin-says/2018/03/20/379effd0-2c57-11e8-8dc9-3b51e028b845_story.html?utm_term=.f2704b1cf1b3<snip>
The call appeared to catch U.S. lawmakers by surprise, and Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) promptly criticized it.
“An American president does not lead the Free World by congratulating dictators on winning sham elections,” McCain wrote on Twitter. “And by doing so with Vladimir Putin, President Trump insulted every Russian citizen who was denied the right to vote in a free and fair election.”
