Poor President Zelensky. Not only must he risk constant assassination attempts and an effort by the Russian military to take over his entire country. On top of that, when he appeals to his friends and allies he seems to imagine that we are something we are not.
On Wednesday morning, when the Ukrainian president addressed the US Congress he tried to appeal to Americans. He spoke of the attacks on Pearl Harbor and 9/11. And he tried to summon up the foundational ideals of this country.
He said that “Just like anyone else in the United States I remember your national memorial in Rushmore, the faces of your prominent presidents, those who laid the foundation of the United States of America as it is today.”
The reference was touching, but wildly outdated. Clearly President Zelensky does not realize that in the last few years America has been trying to rid itself of these foundational figures. Statues of Jefferson, Washington and Lincoln have been pulled down across this country. Only last November Thomas Jefferson was crated up and humiliatingly wheeled out the back door of New York’s Council chamber.

Real America isn’t “rejecting” the Founding Fathers. Leftist trash is.
It was a speech before (Democrat majority) congress appealing for aid. Not directed at you and I.
This idiot is giving diplomacy a good name.
How ironic
Yep. I guarantee you when they were listening to Zelensky, the only thing going through the minds of those treasonous bastards was how much it would benefit them and China.
I’m waiting for him to appeal to American sentimentality by proclaiming that he’s always been a fan of Babe Ruth. :-P
It’s called pandering.
This is the idea of “Progressivism”. Progressing from the founding. Unfortunately, these are the people controlling the U.S. right now, and Zelensky is trying convince into helping Ukraine. He should have preached revolution to win over the fanatics running the U.S. right now.
Most Americans aren’t. Hell, I don’t even think most people in these deep blue urban areas are, it’s mostly just the work of these urban Democratic politicians.
In this case, pandering and failing.
Excellent observation.
Yes. Zelensky is the Ukrainian equivalent of Justin Trudeau.
He is pandering. He rejects all of that, and will, if he retains power.
Zelensky is a puppet of an American vassal state. If he cared about his country he would have fought against the USA just as much as he is fighting against Russia.
His invocation of memories of 9/11 may have been a blunder; most of the dems thought we had it coming and got what we deserved.
“Zelensky hails Founding Fathers”
Explains why his support is dropping in Congress.
He is not sincere. He was sweet-talking his way to billions of our money.
Yep.
It isn’t Americans rejecting our founders, it’s our current POLITICIANS.
And they’ve gotten ahold of our schools to indoctrinate our young into rejecting them.
Yep...
Good point
