Donald Trump’s reluctance to call out Vladimir Putin and Russia for all the awful things they’ve done is disturbing, to say the least. Hillary Clinton has lent her voice to the bipartisan chorus calling Trump out for being soft on Russia:
Great World Cup. Question for President Trump as he meets Putin: Do you know which team you play for?

Yeesh. It gets a bit more difficult to complain about a “strong Russia” when you were calling for that very thing.

He’s trolling, all right.
The interview is from 2010, when Putin was not President of Russia and they had not yet attacked our elections.
And she was still far tougher on them, in person and in Russia, than Trump has ever been.
You are so weak. https://t.co/Ud7Z2HWWXa

Well, Putin was prime minister in 2010. And Hillary wasn’t tough on Russia then, either. She did give Sergei Lavrov that “Reset” button in 2009, though!
