Conservative talk show host Mark Levin accused mainstream media personalities of reacting like “psychopaths” following Trump’s joint news conference in Helsinki, Finland, with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday.
Levin also argued that the Democrats, not Trump, have the true record of appeasing the Russians going all the way back to the presidency of Franklin Roosevelt.
Trump received a torrent of criticism from members of the media, as well as lawmakers from both sides of the aisle, for seeming to be as ready to accept Putin’s denial of Russia’s meddling in the 2016 presidential race as the U.S. intelligence community’s findings that it did.
Trump clarified on Tuesday that he has “full faith” in America’s intelligence agencies, including their findings concerning Russian attempts to influence the election. Levin told Fox News host Sean Hannity on Tuesday night, “What we’ve learned about the media, several of the hosts and guests, is we have a lot of psychopaths out there, that’s for sure.”
