Sen. Chris Coons: We Should Be Using Every Tool In Our Tool Kit, To Pressure Putin | Andrea Mitchell

[seer]

This man's courage is breathtaking. I was horrified when I heard he was returning to Russia but what an example he sets. Navalny is a real man; not these pathetic megalomaniacal autocrats like Putin and Trump.

[claudiamoore]

After William Barr we definitely need an attorney general ASAP stop screwing around Mitch McConnell and the rest of you

[kathleencoggins]

Lindsey Graham is worried what Merrick Garland will find!!

[bigmike]

Putin I'm just treating my people like y'all treat black people in America so Don't lecture me

[madhabitz]

I agree that something needs to be done about the Senate. No more Mr/Ms nice guy! This has gone far enough -mitchie, go sit down.

[GloogleGloigle]

Trump: Putin says it wasn’t him, why wouldn’t I believe him?

[hew]

We have balls expecting other countries to respect human rights when we don't. We are hypocrites plain and simple!

[michaelkgrantj]

Russia looks like Trump's America

[jameswalker]

We need to mind our own business and get our own house in order . Until then we got no right to anyone else anything

[thisismetoday]

There doesn't need to be an agreement! YOU - ARE - IN - You need to start doing what you were elected to do!

[waynenorris]

Sounds like the filibuster is back on the table. Get rid of it!

[danielmoore]

What do we say when Russia puts political pressure on the US? They'll feel the same.

[jgilmo]

We voted for it, use your tie breaking vote!

[margaretnicol]

Hurt him where it hurts the most - in his pockets. Personal $$$ is the only language they understand. Seize properties around the world that belong to Putin and other Russian oligarchs.

[lorettagerull]

You should be using every tool in your tool kit to fix the problem in America also.

[ratnamani]

Guilty of Not Succumbing to
Novichok Agent. 😜

[ginageorge-taylor]

Then don’t forget trump ?? The Hague will be nice for trump

[lt]

i'm so sick of this rhetoric about fighting human rights in other countries when america won't solve it's human rights issues.

[sandra]

Enough, you democrats go in and do what the people voted you in to get stuff done. Showing respect to the Republicans in office is for the birds, you tried and it's not working so put your foot down and take your rightful seats, time is being wasted as usually.

[thisismetoday]

What???? Graham is still the chairman? Are you bloody serious?
