Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) joined a Democrat crowd who defended Ukrainian President Vokrainian President Voldymir Zelensky after being kicked out of the White House after making rude comments during a meeting with President Donald Trump in his oval office.
in post In X, Schiff wrote that during a meeting attended by Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Zelensky was the only “who plays the president in an elliptical office.”
“Today, there was only one person playing the president in the oval office: Volodymyr Zelenskyy,” wrote Schiff. “He confronted the bullies with a Kremlin-style shakedown.”
Schiff continued to question, “What is it necessary to awaken the conscience of the nation after such a shameful exhibition?”
Schiff, who defends Zelensky, has come as governors of Democrats, including the government. Kathy Hochul (D-NY), Josh Shapiro (D-PA) and Tim Walz (D-MN) also sided with him in the aftermath of a meeting in the oval office.
Trump during the meeting notification Ukraine is “in great trouble,” Zelensky added that they “we haven't won.”
“Your country has a big problem,” Trump said. “You haven't won. You're not winning. You're not winning. You have a good chance to come out okay because of us.”
When Zelensky said the Ukrainians were “staying strong” and added that Ukraine was “only,” Trump pointed out that the US had helped Ukraine with financial and military aid.
“You're not alone. We gave it to you [our] Stupid President, $35 billion. We've given you military equipment,” Trump said. “If you didn't have our military equipment, this war would have ended in two weeks.”
Bradley Jaye of Breitbart News reported during the meeting that Trump and Vance criticized Zelensky for “not appreciating at all” and that “he came to an oval office trying to litigate this in front of the American media.”
“I think it would be rude to come to an oval office to sue this in front of the American media with respect,” Vance said. “Right now, you're having talent issues, so you're all going around and forcing drafting to the forefront. We should thank the President for trying to end this conflict.”
The White House later confirmed that Zelensky had left the White House and had not signed a mineral contract. Trump posted later statement In a society of truth that “If America is involved, Zelensky is not ready for peace,” Zelensky added that he “disregarded America in its precious oval office.”
In the aftermath of the meeting, in an interview with Fox News' Brett Bayer, Zelenkey refused to apologise, saying he “is not sure” he had done “something bad.”
