CBS' Face The Nation Turns Exclusively To GOP For Ukraine Discussion

CBS' Sunday news program will reportedly only feature Republicans to discuss the crisis in Ukraine.

On the March 7 edition of CBS' This MorningFace the Nation guest host Charlie Rose announced that the “main topic” of the upcoming show would be the crisis in Ukraine. Rose also revealed that the guests the show will feature are all Republicans: Vice President Dick Cheney, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI), and James Baker, who was chief of staff and secretary of treasury under President Reagan and secretary of state under President George H.W. Bush:

Republicans have used the crisis in Ukraine to attack President Obama's foreign policy, including CBS' upcoming guests. Cheney attacked the President this week when asked about Putin's action, “I think that Barack Obama has conducted himself in a way consistently for the past five years that conveys a real sense of weakness.” While Ryan appeared on Fox this week to blame the Russian invasion on Obama's foreign policy:

Mitt was right, I think the president was incredibly naive on his Russia policy. His reset has been a total failure and I think this is what happens when a superpower projects weakness in its foreign and defense policy, agression fills that vaccum and I think that is what is happening right now.

Ryan also used the crisis to push the Keystone XL pipeline using an argument that an energy expert called “patently absurd.”
