Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelensky got a rousing reception before, during and after his speech to U.S. Congress, but opposition from some GOP lawmakers remains to Washington footing much of the bill for his fight against Russian President Vladimir Putin...
...sitting out most of the standing ovations that peppered his 22-minute speech were GOP Reps. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), Matt Gaetz (R-FL), and Jim Jordan (R-OH), although Boebert stood while Zelensky entered the chamber.

He’s an evil dwarf.

Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelensky got a rousing reception before, during and after his speech to U.S. Congress.

Your list of die-hards is good, but I think we’re doing a bit
