If Obama blew soft wet kisses to Putin, Mitch McConnell would be calling for his head on a stick.

I can no longer decide who has less of a spine, McConnell or Ryan. I think it's about 50-50.

Mitch McConnell on Trump’s Putin praise: ‘I’m not going to critique every utterance of the president’

CNN host Jake Tapper pressed McConnell about Trump’s remarks during a Sunday interview.

“He is a former KGB agent, a thug, not elected in a way that most people consider a credible election,” McConnell said of Putin. “No, I don’t think there is any equivalency with the way the Russians conduct themselves and the way the United States does.”

But the Senate Majority Leader refused to rebuke Trump for the remarks.

“Look, Jake, I can speak to myself and I have about my feelings for Vladimir Putin,” he told Tapper. “I’m not going to critique every utterance of the president.”

He would decline to elaborate, and would hope that the "oranges" comment would create enough of a distraction that no further questions would be forthcoming.
