HARRISON, Ohio – Congressman Steve Chabot on Thursday expressed concern specifically about President Donald Trump's possible connection to Russian President Vladimir Putin, another sign the long-time lawmaker from Cincinnati isn't afraid to take on his fellow Republican.
"He does seem to be an admirer to some degree of Putin," Chabot told about 45 people gathered for the Greater Harrison Chamber of Commerce's annual breakfast. "It hasn't (resulted) in actions at this point. (Trump is) only a month in, but I am concerned because Putin is a thug. He is the enemy of the United States."
The Westwood lawmaker's comments came a day after Chabot called out Trump in a blog post for saying the media is "the enemy of the American people." In the open letter, Chabot said the media might be biased but it's not an enemy.
....this poor guy, an old-timey repub in a party full of teabaggers, gotta be rough
Chabot: 'We need to know' about Trump-Putin link
