Adam Kinzinger Makes A Strong Case For Trump's 'Really Bad Day' After Zelenskyy Clash
HuffPost
The ex-GOP congressman said the U.S. isn't "the good guys in this" after Trump and JD Vance's "embarrassing" shouting match with the Ukrainian president.
Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) weighed in on the “shameful” behavior by President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance on Friday after the two blew up on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the Oval Office.
Kinzinger ― in an appearance on CNN ― weighed in on the “embarrassing” clash as he pushed back at Trump and Vance’s claims that Zelenskyy hasn’t been “thankful” of the U.S. support for Ukraine amid its war with Russia.
“We should be thanking the Ukrainians for standing in the gap and fighting the Russian horde that’s coming into their country and that would come into NATO next,” Kinzinger told CNN’s Dana Bash.
He continued, “Today was very shameful and there’s a reason that every cabinet member under Donald Trump has had to tweet how strong he was today, because they got the memo from the White House that they better come out and support Trump because this is a really bad day for them and they know it.”
Kinzinger, in a post to X, declared that Secretary of State Marco Rubio and National Security Adviser Michael Waltz “lose any of the little credibility they maybe had” if they don’t resign following the Trump-Vance meltdown.
