(58,785 posts)13. WaPo: "During each standing ovation, there is an obvious few who do not partake.
Reps. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.), Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), Andrew S. Clyde (R-Ga.), and Diana Harshbarger (R-Tenn.), all of whom have remained critical of funding to Ukraine, remain seated."
Losers.
We defeated Russia in the battle for minds of the world, Zelensky told Congress. Yes, as multiple bipartisan, bicameral standing ovations demonstrate.
Btw, the people in the gallery who interrupted Pelosi after Zelensky left to yell "God bless America" were reportedly Zelensky's people. So Pelosi and the vast majority attending, all still standing as they prepared to leave also, cheered and clapped for that too. Any who didn't lost in the crowd.
