Top GOP voices rush to defend Ukraine as Trump’s rhetoric turns darker
The Republican Party has reacted to Donald Trump’s scathing criticism of Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelenskyy whom he called a dictator and blamed for allowing the war to happen by not making a deal that was so “easy” to make, according to him.
Republican Don Bacon was among the first to react, writing, “It is simple. The fastest way to stop the war in Ukraine is for Russia to stop the invasion, stop killing POWs and stop bombing cities. Let Ukraine be Ukraine, and let them follow their own path. They’ve had centuries of Russian domination and they hate it.”
He then added: “I’ve been deployed four times. I also support Ukraine in defending itself from a Russian invasion. Americans are naturally opposed to bullies except for a few weaklings.”
