CAPEHART: “And this setback for Ukraine is unfolding as Russian President Vladimir Putin appears more emboldened than ever.
Hundreds of people have been detained across Russia for attending Memorial gatherings after the death of the Kremlin’s most outspoken critic Alexei Navalny in a Siberian prison.
President Biden pointed the finger directly at the Russian president saying, quote, ‘Make no mistake, Putin is responsible for Navalny’s death.’ Putin has yet to comment on Navalny’s death.
You know who else hasn’t — who’s been silent?
Donald Trump, the Putin apologist and Republican presidential front-runner who is doubling down on encouraging Russia to quote ‘do whatever the hell they want to our NATO allies if they don’t contribute enough to defense funding.’ Joining me now Democratic Congressman Andy Kim of New Jersey, a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee and candidate for the United States Senate.
Congressman Kim, great to see you again.
Thank you for coming.”
