Ukraine mega thread

[SunnySide]

Several GOP hardliners refused to clap, stand or even attend when Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy addressed Congress on Wednesday.

Reps. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo.; Matt Gaetz, R-FL, both refused to clap for Zelenskyy when he entered the floor for his speech, and Andrew Clyde, R-FL, also refused to participate in at least one ovation for the president.

Meanwhile, Rep. Thomas Massie, R-KY, did not even attend the speech, despite being in Washington at the time.

"I’m in DC but I will not be attending the speech of the Ukrainian lobbyist," he wrote on Twitter.

I don't have a problem with people not clapping. The Ukraine thing is a tough situation, I think there are valid arguments to be made against all of the money we have and continue to give them and the job he's done as their president.

But not appearing or standing up is just trying to be the cool kid. Hey look at me, I'm still sitting down looking at my phone. That's just posturing, trying to stick out and make you feel impressed by yourself.

To not appearing at all, that's ridiculous. This is your fucking job. Unless you have a valid reason to not be there, get your ass to work.

I'm not familiar with Clyde, but it's always the same people doing this type shit. Grow the fuck up.
