Former Republican congressman Joe Walsh speculated that President Donald Trump could also be a “Russian asset” or “plant” of the Russian authorities throughout an look on CNN on Thursday.
Throughout a dialogue on “CNN This Morning” about Trump criticizing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Walsh argued, “The American president right now could be a plant, could be a Russian asset. I mean, think about that.”
“Here I am. I know it’s early in the morning to say something like that, but think about that. And if the American people don’t care about that, that Putin might have something on Trump, that he’s an asset, that he’s a plant, that he’s doing the bidding of Vladimir Putin,” he added, referring to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Walsh’s feedback come on the heels of a Reality Social publish from Trump asserting that Zelenskyy is “a dictator without elections,” and questioning the place the billions of {dollars} of support from the U.S. has gone.

In a earlier phase, CNN host Jim Scuitto requested Walsh: “I just wonder, for your party, what it means for the U.S. president to not just overlap with some Russian talking points on the war, but straight up repeat them, repeat the Russian rationale for the invasion, repeat the Russian framing, repeat the Russian description of the elected Ukrainian president. Straight up, repeat them. What does it mean?”
The previous congressman responded, “Straight up, he’s siding with Putin,” including, “The President of the United States is siding with Vladimir Putin, period. We know, I know, privately, this is just pissing off Senate Republicans especially. But, Jim, Trump’s hold on this party is a thousand times stronger than it was before November.”
After Scuitto modified subjects within the following phase and requested for Walsh’s feedback on rising meals costs, Walsh determined to circle again to the Trump-Russia dialogue.
“Yes. And I apologize, Jim. I can’t move past what we just talked about in the last segment. Um, Donald Trump is saying everything Vladimir Putin would say. Um, and you mentioned the American people generally don’t care about what’s going on over there.”

“Everything he’s done, everything he’s said for 8 or 9 years is exactly what Vladimir Putin would say and want him to do,” claimed Walsh.
