Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) said Monday that he does not see a “peaceful retirement” in Putin’s future.
“When you are a thug, when you have the blood of your own people on your hands, when you have suppressed dissent and crushed democracy and robbed billions of dollars, a peaceful retirement is not necessarily a viable option,” Toomey told MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski on “Morning Joe.” “And so he’s going to continue this sort of thing, unless and until we push back so hard that threatens his power more than continuing.”
