Brian Kilmeade unloaded on President Trump in an unexpected twist on today’s “Fox & Friends.” (Hot Air)
Our relationship with Russia has NEVER been worse thanks to many years of U.S. foolishness and stupidity and now, the Rigged Witch Hunt!

Kilmeade knocked Trump not once but twice this morning, bringing up the tweet in the clip below and later in an exchange with Newt Gingrich. Smart money says he’s the only anchor today on America’s Most Patriotic Network besides Shep Smith to call him out. If anything, Tucker might spend his opening monologue defending the tweet. Don’t expect much from congressional Republicans either. Ben Sasse uncorked a series of accusatory tweets about Putin last night (before Trump’s “blame America” tweet this morning) but despite his best intentions I think that ends up doing more harm than good. All it does is highlight the impotence of Trump’s party in trying to check him. They’re not going to try to claw back any tariff power from him, they’re not going to try to block any deal he strikes with Putin. Twitter-farting is all they’ve got.

Although some conservatives question the optics of the president’s actions today, his administration continues to act tough on Russia.
