Use chemical weapons, the price you will have to pay is too high. in the case of chemical weapons, we have not been consistent over recent decades. so people have been testing us. and i think were now starting to see some credibility coming back into our red lines on the use of chemical weapons. the very strong response from the united states and the uk and our allies to the use of it in salisbury. and people are clear this is unacceptable behavior. must stand together. >> at the same time, the ...

Did he say to him privately, number one? thats a very serious question. number two, were still viewing it through the lens of american partisan politics, which is by the way the lens through which donald trump seems to want us to view this encounter with vladimir putin. what do we take away from that? it was the most partisan performance by an american president overseas ive ever seen in a couple decades of watching international events. it was an extremely partisan performance by president trum...

It was an extremely partisan performance by president trump, and yet in a weird way, he succeeded in having us view it in a partisan lens. how many republicans can we get to condemn it? what about democrats, republicans? lets think about what rod rosenstein said with those indictments the other day. president trumps own appointee at the justice department. this is not really a moment for partisan debate. as americans i think we should look at how doesnt putin benefit from whats just gone on here...

Very appropriate. >> eric: its stinging. but does it mean anything? you know its going to happen. doesnt putin just resend new people in? >> that ultimately will happen. that works in both directions. but heres what is difference about this. its the 25 nations that joined together to do it. what vladimir putin wants is prestige. prestige, respect and wealth are the three things he wants the most. this hurts the prestige of russia and hurts the respect for russia. when 25 nations join to do it, i...

So much is at stake. putins on the wrong side of history and on the wrong side of the law. make him pay a price. american people are dying for their freedom. i hope we will stand with them. not just in words, but in deeds. >> senator durbin, your reaction to what congresswoman mccatcher had to say? >> i disagree with marcy. i think we need to be sensitive to the russian populations in crimea. as i said, this is an historic reality. but the notion that putin can send in, as lindsey graham says, 1...

>> well, number one, stop going on television and trying to threaten thugs and dictators. it is not your strong suit. every time the president goes on national television and threatens putin or anyone like putin, everybodys eyes roll, including mine. we have a weak and indecisive president that invites aggression. president obama needs to do something. how about this -- suspend russian membership in the g-8 and the g-20 at least for a year starting right now. for every day that they stay in crim...
