Rand Paul sides with Trump on Russia, says critics 'motivated' by dislike of president

Via Billy
President Trump dug in Tuesday amid bipartisan criticism over his press conference with Vladimir Putin, claiming the "Fake News" is ignoring what he described as a successful summit -- and his tough stance with NATO actually helped the alliance counter Russia's influence.

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., on Monday expressed his approval of President Donald Trump’s handling of Russia despite the tsunami of criticism the president faced after his press conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“It’s gotten so ridiculous that someone has to stand up and say we should try to engage even our adversaries and open up our lines of communication,” Paul told Politico after the controversial press conference.

“We’re going to talk to the president about some small steps in order to try to thaw the relations between our countries,” the senator added, noting that he’s set to travel to Russia early next month to continue the dialogue that Trump started.
