Ted Lieu, California Democratic Representative since 2015, has called it. He did not mince his words and then Twitter discussed the topic. At length.
Dear @realDonaldTrump: Even if we ignored Russia's bad behavior, it doesn't deserve to be in the G-7 because it's not even a top ten economy. Both Brazil & India have far larger economies.
Why didn't you invite them? Is it because they didn't help you win the Electoral College? https://t.co/O2XjHOFD8C

IT’S BECAUSE BRAZILIANS AND INDIANS ARE BROWN…

Italy has a bigger economy than Russia. They're not the superpower they like to pretend they are. It's so clear Trump is compromised, and acting on Putin’s behalf. And still, no congressional oversight.

Say what you will about Trump, he sure is loyal to the country that elected him. https://t.co/7Lw4gvLi3y

Trump now wants to pardon Putin over Crimea. Weakness. https://t.co/0TxwPPyp4D

Of course Trump wants to pardon Putin. He owes his job to him. He does have to pay him back

By the way, here is Ted Lieu’s bio from his Twitter homepage:
“Husband of Betty, the love of my life. Father of two great kids. USAF veteran. Member of Congress. In that order. Also, I don’t take orders from Vladimir Putin.”
Way to go, Ted!
