The idea that some type of agreement on paper is going to work with Vladimir Putin is a farce.

This actually is not the parameters of a good deal.

I have to defend Colorado, when I have to defend our veterans and our service members, that I will not hesitate to do that.

Russia is an adversary and, as always, looking for opportunities to sow discord and make trouble for Americans and for the government, so any stand-down or pullback of our operations could be catastrophic.

Jim, I didn't ever imagine in my lifetime I would see something as appalling as I saw it today in the Oval Office. This was a stunning abdication of American leadership. It was a minimizing of our country and a pullback of America as a…

Donald Trump is certainly not reliable and trustworthy in any sense.

The vast, vast majority of Americans condemn these pardons, and I joined that. And they are on the wrong side of history here.
