What is Senator Schumer's criticism of President Trump's statements on the Ukraine war?
Senator Schumer criticizes Trump for echoing Russian propaganda by blaming Ukraine rather than Putin for the war. He calls Trump's statements 'disgusting' for suggesting Ukraine shouldn't have 'started' the conflict when in reality, Vladimir Putin initiated the invasion. Schumer emphasizes that appeasing dictators like Putin endangers both Ukraine and American security. Schumer warns that history shows appeasing dictators leads to greater long-term costs. He urges Republicans to take a stand against Trump's rhetoric, arguing this isn't just about another nation's security but ultimately affects American interests. He concludes by challenging Republicans to choose between supporting democracy worldwide or catering to Putin with harmful consequences.
