The state department not filled. The secretary of state tried to find areas of cooperation. Also this morning, were hearing from President Trump and the u. S. Ambassador to the u. N. Nikki haley on this subject. Frankly, putin is backing a person thats truly an evil person. And i think its very bad for russia. I think its very bad for mankind. Its very bad for this world. Anything russia says at this point, no one is believing it. The International Community sees it for what it is. The International Community has watched russia cover up assad for years.

Pelley this is our western edition. The job of the White House Press secretary is to articulate the positions of the president and to clean up the occasional president ial mess. They are not supposed to create messes for the president. But it happened again today when sean spicer made one colossal error. He was comparing syrias dictator to hitler, and suggested that hitler did not use poison gas on his own people.

You had a, you know, someone as despicable
