Congratulations from the White House criticized by CNN, etc...
Even members of President Donald Trump's own party are criticizing him for congratulating Vladimir Putin on winning Sunday's election.
The two leaders talked over the phone on Tuesday and discussed U.S.-Russia relations and denuclearizing the Korean Peninsula. Mixed in, according to the White House, was Trump's congratulations.
But Russian elections aren't known for being fair or democratic; video shows ballot boxes being stuffed on Sunday, which resulted in at least 76 percent of the votes going to Putin. [/quotes]
