Cramer shares colleagues' criticism of the waiver but points to diesel prices

Sen. Kevin Cramer tells Face the Nation that capitulating to a bully invites more demands and that he shares the positions of Republican colleagues who criticized the waiver. He adds that diesel prices are an important election issue and says he expects the waiver to be a short-term pause.

“I think capitulating to a bully generally means you're going to make more demands going forward. That's the problem with, you know, taking sort of a business negotiation approach to the - to negotiating with a thug, which is what Vladimir Putin is. So, I share those colleagues' positions on it. However, I also have to, you know, acknowledge that we are a few weeks or a couple of weeks from an election. One of the important topics of the election is the cost of diesel fuel.”
