He told Pravda, their paper, how gleeful he is. In Pravda, a Russian newspaper where Vladimir Putin talked about this, they were fawning over what a great pick Gabbard is for Russia.

Meanwhile, in Russia. After hanging out at the Kremlin, Karenchak and Nazarov reports that Putin constantly watches Vladimir Solvov's program. He's the one who always goes on there and kind of mocks Donald Trump, mocks Melania. This is like their Sean Hannity there. They're showing the nudes of Melania there frequently.
