Summary
Republican lawmakers who have condemned Putin hesitate to criticize Trump’s recent pro-Russia stance.
Trump falsely blamed Ukraine for the war, called President Zelenskyy a “dictator,” and demanded Ukraine surrender rare earth minerals in exchange for U.S. aid.
While some GOP officials reaffirmed support for Ukraine, they avoided directly challenging Trump. Meanwhile, Trump’s administration negotiated a Russia-Ukraine peace deal without initially including Ukraine.
Zelenskyy rejected Trump’s minerals demand, warning of dangerous precedents.
No, he doesn’t. He means the generation of Republicans even older than them, who fought in WWII and were senior congressmen during the Reagan administration.
All of them served during Reagan. maybe not senior, but that’s just moving goal posts. and as someone else mentioned, Roger Stone.
Republican’s have been baking this cake for decades, and they don’t get to pretend like it’s all just Trump.
