[See NewsBusters for more.] For the past four years, MSNBC has never missed an opportunity to say that President Trump is in cahoots with Vladimir Putin to undermine democracy and American national security and that Trump loves his autocratic nature. On Monday's MSNBC Live, host Stephanie Ruhle and Keir Simmons claimed that Trump's hospitalization due to COVID-19 highlights that Trump doesn't take the virus seriously, unlike Putin, whom they lavished with praise.

Simmons, reporting from Moscow, was asked by Ruhle to explain how the world has reacted to Trump's diagnosis and hospitalization. Simmons began by apologizing to viewers, "I guess I'm imagining some of this will leave you fairly infuriated that the reality is that, as America's adversaries are sending kind of warm messages that you might expect from America's allies."
