'Ridiculous': MSNBC hosts jump on conservative for blowing off Trump's ties to Putin

Raw Story  

The chairman of a conservative think tank stepped in it more than once during a visit to MSNBC's "The Weekend" and found himself on the receiving end when he tried to blow off Donald Trump's relationship with Vladimir Putin. Speaking with co-hosts Symone Sanders Townsend and Michael Steele, Michael Needham of the conservative American Compass was pressed on how President-elect Donald Trump should deal with Putin's continuing war with Ukraine. "I think he says that because Donald Trump said some of the things Putin has said about letting Russia keep some of Ukraine, so that's why he said that," co-host Sanders Townsend explained. If America doesn't choose, if America doesn't prioritize, a dangerous world will end up with the United States --" "You would let Mexico keep part of Texas?"
