nobody has been tougher?

If he thinks he has been tougher on Russia - then we need to make him tell us how he's been tougher and why he thinks he's been the toughest.

We just let him say and tweet statements like this - but nobody ever calls him on them.

He needs to be held accountable.

He controls public appearances in a way that keeps press from challenging him. Huckabee won't answer detailed questions about Trumpy's lies, so they all go unchallenged.

today blasted U.S. inaction in the face of Russian cyber, political, and military threats. And said that Russia has been emboldened because everyone looks the other way.

I guess that's why he's the "outgoing" security advisor ... he criticized Comrade Bone Spurs.

Everything out of his mouth is a lie or distortion. If he ever had to defend his claims he would end up looking like the ass he is. The media lets him get away with murder. Is there nobody that will ever call him on the carpet?
