Zelenskyy’s visit to Pennsylvania weapons factory upsets speaker as Trump continues attacks on Ukrainian president
The US House speaker, Mike Johnson, has demanded that Ukraine fire its ambassador to Washington as the feud between Donald Trump and Volodymr Zelenskyy escalated and Republicans accused the Ukrainian leader of election interference.
In a public letter, Johnson demanded that Zelenskyy fire the Ukrainian ambassador, Oksana Markarova, over a visit to a munitions factory in Scranton, Pennsylvania, last week where the Ukrainian president thanked workers for providing desperately needed shells to his outgunned forces.
Johnson complained that Markarova had organised the visit to the Scranton Army Ammunition Plant as a “partisan campaign event designed to help Democrats”. The event was attended by the Pennsylvania governor, Josh Shapiro, a Democrat who has campaigned in support of Kamala Harris.
Amongst all of the Republican insanity of recent years, the thing that definitely stands out to me the most, as the weirdest, is their slavish subservience to Putin.
I understand it from an extremely cynical point of view, but still, it’s just so weird snd so directly contrary to everything they’ve ever claimed to stand for. It’s hypocrisy and malfeasance and amorality and pathetic subservience all rolled into one and cranked up to 11.
Because the Russians hacked the RNC servers in 2016. They have all the dirt on them and then some.
Russians bugged the golf carts at Trumps courses way before that.
And they have the Trump pee tapes too
We don’t call him Moscow Mitch for nothing
Must be the hate of being held to answer and to laws that putin doesn’t have.
I mean otherwise Russia is just a shithole country.
