Former Secretary of State John Kerry calls Trump appearance with Putin 'disgraceful' and 'dangerous'
Former Secretary of State John Kerry called President Trump’s appearance with Russian President Vladimir Putin a “disgraceful” moment of surrender that is “dangerous” for the United States.
In an interview that aired on “Face the Nation” Sunday, Kerry tore into Trump for siding with Putin over the U.S. intelligence community’s conclusion that Russia meddled in the 2016 election, and said he doesn’t buy Trump’s effort to walk back the comments.
“I found it to be one of the most disgraceful, remarkable moments of kowtowing to a foreign leader by an American president that anyone has ever witnessed,” said Kerry, the Secretary of State under President Obama.
“It wasn't just that it was a kind of surrender. It's that it is dangerous. The President stood there and did not defend our country. He stood there and did not defend the truth, he did not defend the facts,” Kerry said. “It's dangerous because it sends a message to President Putin and to the rest of the world that the President of the United States, the leader of the free world, really doesn't have a handle on what he's doing.”
