Putin Is The 'Dictator’: GOP Balks As Trump Hurls Attacks Against Ukraine’s Zelenskyy
"I don’t accept George Orwell’s doublethink," one House Republican said after President Trump blamed Ukraine for starting the war with Russia.
Trump used his Truth Social platform on Wednesday to lash out at Zelenskyy and call the Ukrainian a “dictator without elections” who has “done a terrible job” defending his country. Ukraine hasn’t had elections since martial law was put in place after Russia invaded its territory three years ago and launched a deadly bombing campaign that persists today.
Trump’s broadside followed Zelenskyy’s comment that the U.S. president was being influenced by Russian disinformation after Trump falsely claimed that Ukraine started the war with Russia.
I'm glad they're publicly contradicting Trump. Too bad they won't actually do anything about him.
wake me up when they rally against the dicktator, and kick the leaky diaper out of office and all the way to eastern kansas.
they wont, since alot of them are primiarly funded by putin.
Oh wow, if only someone could have told them that Trump was licking Putin's asshole in public not just since 2016, but doubly since the literal invasion (or more overt stage of the invasion, if one prefers) of Ukraine in 2022. God, if only there was some kind of publicly available record of Trump attacking Ukraine and praising Putin this whole time that they could have looked at to predict how the Trump presidency would go!
Alas, some of the most powerful and highly placed politicos in the country were helpless to see what us lowly working-class demonrats saw and heard constantly, over and over and over again, from the puckered asshole's own lips. 😔
The GOP can sink with the orange ship
Increasingly surreal stuff just seems to happen.
But I note that some high-profile Republicans have a spine - despite Elon Musk's promise to beat anyone who diobeys Trump with his wallet (in primaries).
Subsequently, Trump was requested to be more truthful by: Mike Pence, Don Bacon, Lindsey Graham, Mike Rounds, John Kennedy, Thom Tillis, John Thune - and probably others who I haven't even heard of, who didn't make the news.

Only the old guard ones who still are deluded into thinking they need to maintain some semblance of propriety and keep the government running while they loot it. Theyre stuck in an era when public discourse and press actually mattered. But now... This Nazi monster has so far outrun their control that they don't know what to do anymore.
Look at these spineless creatures pretending like they still have free will. As if they didn't give it all to Trump years ago.
I read people on Xitter saying that Ukraine should respect that Russia is more powerful than them and they should give Russia whatever they want.
Which is honestly fucking hilarious. Russia is a pathetic backwater.
Is there a pool on how long before this guy falls out a window?
