President Trump’s public debacle with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky halted hopes for a signed minerals agreement while dividing the world — and Washington — over their support for them both.
Long-simmering tensions between Trump and Zelensky exploded into the open during a heated Oval Office exchange that will have ramifications for the U.S., Russia, Ukraine and all of Europe.
Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) called his vote to confirm Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who was in that meeting with Trump and Zelensky, “a mistake” in a Sunday interview with CNN’s “State of the Union.”
“It was a mistake. I think a lot of us thought that Marco Rubio was going to stand up to Donald Trump on an issue like this,” said Murphy.

I heard Murphy was one of them to tell zelensky not to take the deal. If so Murphy can go beep himself. 🙄

It was a despicable act.
It was sleazy of z to meet with any members of congress before meeting Trump.
Did he go for a second opinion? If he did, he got what he wanted....and now he can live with the consequences.

What “public debacle”?
The Hill runs opinion pieces masquerading as news.

With this deal, Ukraine creates income through a partner they can trust and without putting boots on the ground, creates security

In what universe or state of inebriation did Murphy ever think Rubio would not be in lockstep with his boss? 🙄

I wonder if the people of Connecticut think voting for Murphy was a mistake.

I have to wonder how much Federal money has been funneled to The Hill through NGOs.

Murphy makes many mistakes.
Voting to confirm Rubio is not one of them.

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.)I can't think of one reason why I would care what a democrat had to say about anything.

Murphy is flapping his jaws a lot lately. He must be running for something soon.
