Attached in his X post was a clip from the CNN interview where he responded to a few questions. Lieu said,

“Donald Trump acts like he is scared of Vladimir Putin. I don’t know why that is, but it is highly disturbing. A few years ago, Donald Trump said he trusted Vladimir Putin more than our own intelligence officials. You see Trump when he was with Putin, the body language Trump sends is one of weakness. 

And now you see Trump giving away the store when it comes to the Ukraine-Russia conflict and name calling is certainly not helpful. And I wish the president would stop that and show strength. The American people does not want the American president to show weakness. And that’s what Trump is doing right now, showing weakness.

I certainly think that there are ways to say things more diplomatically. However, it’s simply a fact that Donald Trump is spewing Russian disinformation. Russia attacked Ukraine not once, but twice, the first in 2014 when they took Crimea and because the world and United States did nothing about it. Russia attacked again in 2022. And if Trump capitulates to Russia and surrenders, then Russia is going to attack again.”

  • Co-sponsored an assault weapons ban
  • Co-sponsored the Green New Deal
