Sanders Rips Trump Attempt to Walk Back Helsinki Remarks: "Too Bad Trump Didn't Have the Guts to Say That" With Putin There...

"I'm glad that Trump has repudiated his absurd statement in Helsinki and now agrees with what our intelligence community has said for over a year," Sanders wrote on Twitter. "Too bad Trump didn’t have the guts to say that yesterday while with his authoritarian friend, Vladimir Putin."

1. Should add [Bernie] to disambiguate from HucksterBee-Sanders.

And the story's out of date already, of course. Trump has already walked back his semi-sorta walk-back of his insane Helsinki rant.

2. Trump is like a weather vane.

Hard to tell which direction he is pointing at.

4. Bernie should have voted for Russian sanctions.

5. trump neither repudiated his statement nor does he agree with US intelligence.

His "I misspoke" excuse was beyond ridiculous and he still maintained that it "could have been others."

I agree with the general point Bernie was making about not saying anything to Putin's face, but the thing is, trump hasn't really changed his tune now either.

6. Trump, as always, is lying to cover himself.

His current lie is contradicted by his many statements wherein he takes the side of Russia and calls US intelligence agencies incorrect and biased.
