He seems pretty sensitive whenever someone confronts him with evidence that Putin might not be our friend. Even when Fox brings it up.

As I've often said, it is a strange fascism that dismantles the instruments of its own dominance. We'll see how state-building goes in post-invasion Cuba.

And before you say "B-b-b-but Ecuador invited us in!": just last year, a proposal to open U.S. military bases was crushed in a popular referendum. Also: the Ecuador's constitution explicitly forbids foreign military presence within its borders.

Raskin: Based on what you know today, were Renee Good and Alex Pretti domestic terrorists?

Noem: What happened was an absolute tragedy.

Raskin: Were they domestic terrorists?

Noem: My condolences to their families

Raskin: You lied about them.
