Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) sharply rebuked retired Col. Douglas Macgregor on Saturday for continuing his pro-Putin rhetoric amid Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Macgregor told Fox Business host Stuart Varney on Friday that initially “Russian forces were frankly, too gentle” in Ukraine and that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is a “puppet.”

After noting that former President Donald Trump had nominated Macgregor to become U.S. ambassador to Germany, Cheney commented, “This is the Putin wing of the GOP.”
