Zelenskyy’s visit to Pennsylvania weapons factory upsets speaker as Trump continues attacks on Ukrainian president

The US House speaker, Mike Johnson, has demanded that Ukraine fire its ambassador to Washington as the feud between Donald Trump and Volodymr Zelenskyy escalated and Republicans accused the Ukrainian leader of election interference.

In a public letter, Johnson demanded that Zelenskyy fire the Ukrainian ambassador, Oksana Markarova, over a visit to a munitions factory in Scranton, Pennsylvania, last week where the Ukrainian president thanked workers for providing desperately needed shells to his outgunned forces.

Johnson complained that Markarova had organised the visit to the Scranton Army Ammunition Plant as a “partisan campaign event designed to help Democrats”. The event was attended by the Pennsylvania governor, Josh Shapiro, a Democrat who has campaigned in support of Kamala Harris.

no Republicans were invited

So? Why would they invite the assholes trying to sabotage everything? Putin wasn't invited either.

I do enjoy every opportunity I get where my brain gets to say the words quod erat demonstrandum.

They act like babies and then clutch their pearls when not allowed at the adukt table. Same people who rail against benefits but go back to their states and take credit for any improvements. Gross people all around.

I first didn't think much of it, but now I am realizing that this visit shows how Republicans lie that Biden is just dropping pallets off dollar bills into Ukraine, when in reality majority of it actually stays within US, creating jobs, and apart from artillery shells majority of production is to replenish US stocks, because we are giving Ukraine equipment that was close to expire.

This lie being exposed is the real reason why Mike is upset.

Also the Democrats who were there are currently in office one being the Governor. It's his job to meet with diplomats sometimes and do that kind of stuff so wtf.
