South Carolina Democratic Party Chair Christale Spain released the following statement on Trump’s refusal to condemn Vladimir Putin last night in Greenville.
“South Carolina servicemembers and veterans deserve to have a leader who will advance American interests first, not carry water for Putin. It’s beyond the pale that Trump still heaps praise on Putin and other dictators like Kim Jong Un. Trump’s love for dangerous autocrats is even more glaring in contrast with President Biden, who is leading on the world stage, has rebuilt our alliances, and is fighting to protect democracy here and abroad.”
