On Wednesday's broadcast of CNN's "The Lead," Rep. Madeleine Dean (D-PA) responded to host Jake Tapper stating Russia is acting aggressively towards Ukraine under President Joe Biden in a way that they didn't under former President Donald Trump by stating that Trump "tried to use Ukraine" and Putin "understood that and allowed that to trail along with the hope that maybe Mr. Trump would return to the presidency. But here he did not. So Mr. Putin pursues his efforts at overtaking anybody he can."
