What we noticed in that assembly was two cowardly puppets dealing with a hero. Whether or not you help them or not, as an American, it’s embarrassing that the one actual hero in that room was the Ukrainian president.”
A very embarrassing second for our nation. I do know the overwhelming majority of my Republican colleagues agree with me. They’re too scared to say it themselves. pic.twitter.com/bfNeLz9pJb

To a vp who didn’t even go to Ukraine? I hardly know anybody in Congress who cares about nationwide safety and hasn’t been to Ukraine throughout this conflict.”
He went on to say, “Zelenskyy doesn’t owe anybody in that Oval Workplace any deference. The truth is, I want he had put them of their place much more forcefully.”
