Full List of Republicans Who Sat During Zelensky's Speech

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Seven Republican lawmakers "repeatedly remained seated" during standing ovations for President Volodymyr Zelensky during the Ukrainian leader's address to Congress on Wednesday, according to one reporter, though all joined "standing ovations during the last portions" of his speech.

Zelensky was warmly welcomed to Congress as part of his first trip outside Ukraine since the Russian invasion of his country began on February 24.

-snip-

Zelensky's address was enthusiastically received, with the vast majority of lawmakers joining repeated standing ovations as he vowed Ukraine would repel Putin's army.

However, a small group of right-wing House Republicans appeared less impressed, remaining seated during at least some ovations.

1. ASSHATS!!!!!!

[Cha]

73. Putin WingRots. nt

[SheltieLover]

2. Was blackburn there?

Her ruskie pals wouldn't like her honoring Pres. Z!

[Celerity]

6. not sure but Harshbarger is from TN

typical Rethug gun humper

Harshbarger was born in Kingsport, Tennessee, and raised in nearby Bloomingdale. She is the first person in her family to graduate from high school.

[Sneederbunk]

16. The rivers of Tennessee are now safe.

[SunSeeker]

21. Meal Team 6 on the job! nt

[mahina]

60. Penalty flag, unnecessary fat shaming, plus a woman, plus she isn't fat,

Come on, man.

Good for her for graduating from high school

Let's go get her educated on critical thinking basics. Here's a hope.

[SunSeeker]

67. Meal Team 6 is not necessarily fat shaming, it's mocking wannabe Rambos, which include women.

As you note, she is not fat, so I am not shaming fat, but her unfitness and inane attempt to show military bravado.

And I am not a man. You sure make a lot of sex-based assumptions.

There is no amount of education that will give her critical thinking skills. She's a Republican. Education level does not equate to critical thinking skills anyway.

[mahina]

71. I can see how you may have assumed that I thought you are a man.

Maybe, I don’t remember.

Onward.

[Evolve Dammit]

22. Jesus what an asshole.

[paleotn]

28. TN 1st district. Not surprising.

It's been inbred, psycho land for a long time.

[TNNurse]

35. I don't live in her district, but saw her ads.

They were awful. We are stuck with Tim Burchett who is known by many locally as Tim Birdshit.

[SheltieLover]

59. Internarional disgrace!

[aeromanKC]

66. Send her to Russia!!

[progressoid]

51. Thomas Massie (R-Ky), Rand Paul, Josh Hawley, Mike Lee and others not in attendance.

According to the Hill pool, only 86 of 213 House Republicans attended the speech Wednesday evening. More than a third of House members had active letters to vote by proxy on Wednesday, with many worrying about weather disrupting travel just before Christmas.

[republianmushroom]

3. Russian puppets (?) or trumpters one in the same.

[liberal N proud]

4. As they say, it says more about them than the speaker

It only proves they have no respect for anyone, including themselves

[certainot]

36. dittoheads. limbaugh led the chorus for years in admiring putin/russia for living the ayn randian

free market authoritarian wet dream that democrats would not let republicans impose on the US

it's been going on for years AND a number of cases of kremlin influence on limbaugh/RW radio go back to 2008 (using limbaugh to push palin on mccain) at least would suggest the kremlin helped out in selling putin's 'excelences'

[GoCubsGo]

5. I'm curious as to the ones that showed up and DID stand.

I know most House GOPers stayed away, but several showed up and behaved like adults. I would like to know who they are, but I have yet to see anything about them.

[appmanga]

40. Most House Republicans...

...based on my viewing didn't stay away. Some of the usual suspects from the House Crackpot Caucus weren't there and neither was Sen. Josh the Jogger Hawley, but there were a lot of Republicans there.

[GoCubsGo]

41. I thought I saw that only about 50 of them showed up.

[Shermann]

7. Not exactly a politically seasoned group

Even from a pragmatic perspective, the downside to shitting on guests from foreign countries is that you may get shat upon when you travel to their countries. What's the upside?

[NoRethugFriends]

9. You expect any of these clowns to travel to Ukraine???

[Shermann]

10. Sure, but probably only to dig up dirt on the Bidens! nt

[NoRethugFriends]

62. Right. I forgot about that.

But no way they go with a war on.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

8. Label them ANTI-DEMOCRACY and FREEDOM PUTIN LOVERS....

They must think Ukrainian men, women and children deserve to be bombed on, raped, starved, deprived of dignity, vital infrastructure, etc.

ASSHOLES the lot of them.

[smb]

34. Kremlin Sympathizers

Invoke the tropes from back in the day that still resonate to some degree with the elderly followers.

[PufPuf23]

68. Traitors. nt

[Cha]

74. Putin's WingRots. nt

[dem4decades]

11. Did Jordan stand up for the rights of abused athletes at Ohio State?

He's a piece of shit, I'd expect nothing less of him.

[IcyPeas]

12. some of them did stand for some of it....

[Initech]

13. So the usual group of assholes then?

[Chainfire]

14. A list of the most patriotic comrads in the house.

Give them the benefit of the doubt, they may not have snubbed him as the President of Ukraine, it may have been because he is from a Jewish family...

[Sneederbunk]

15. Putinists

[Trailrider1951]

17. Yep, that list tells you who is in Pooty's pocket

They all need to go. Electorate, do your job!

[Peacetrain]

18. You've got that right

[rubbersole]

20. Treasonous bastards can go fuck themselves.

The repub circus coming to DC will expose them to average Americans that don't always pay attention to the news.

[Ford_Prefect]

19. Has anyone figured out yet where Marjory Three Names was during all this?

I don't recall that she was in the room or on camera at any point.

[ShazzieB]

49. That's what I'm wondering!

If she was there, it's hard to imagine her not following along with her buddies Gaetz and Boebert. I would really like to know for sure.

[Ford_Prefect]

56. She's got a war on with Boebert and Geatz over McCarthy and the committee seats she wants.

She's said she's pro-Putin on Ukraine so who knows?

[Wild blueberry]

23. They aspire to be assholes.

They will rot in hell. (and I'm an atheist)

[Raine]

63. I think they've gone beyond aspiring and achieved asshole status

already.

[SergeStorms]

24. The usual fucked-up suspects.

Who are the people who keep electing these insufferable shit-stains?

[Evolve Dammit]

25. Fuck 'em all. Not literally of course...

[Dopers_Greed]

26. The Putin Caucus

Send em all to Russia.

[3catwoman3]

27. Do we know which ones did not attend?

I'm sure they think they are showing themselves to be very clever, when all they are showing is how classless they are.

[niyad]

61. The list in the OP.

[Stuart G]

29. K & R...These 7 are like Trump..."Absolutely Sure That They Can Get Away With Anything"

It is that simple. Being disrespectful to a recognized world leader is who these people are about.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

32. The Pootineers can't be shamed, but maybe enough of their constituents can be.

[wryter2000]

30. Only seven

I thought it might be more.

[question everything]

43. Seven among the ones present. I think that many just stayed away

[cstanleytech]

31. Two options. #1 They are taking money under the table from Russia.

#2 They are complete unrepentant assholes.

[Evolve Dammit]

38. Perhaps a combination of both?? They swore an oath and it appears to be meaningless

I am constantly appalled that they can just spew this seditionist BS in the Halls of Congress and get away with it. I guess it's all "free speech." You can say whatever the fuck you want in America even if you swore an an oath.

[bdamomma]

33. Of course

Putin's patriots. Jerks.

[calimary]

37. Surprised NOT to see Margie Traitor Gangrene on that list.

[Evolve Dammit]

39. Good moniker!

[Vinca]

54. I think I read that she and Josh Hawley chose not to attend.

[YoshidaYui]

42. A song FOR THE members who did not stand or applaud....

[erronis]

44. Be so easy to just post that list so we don't have to log into msn.com or twitter

Just sayin'.

[Raine]

45. Scum of the Earth all are POS!!! 💩 🤬nt

[Comfortably_Numb]

46. So the seditious shitheads were a United front. Stupid in a row, worthless fuckettes.

[dchill]

47. "He's making a list, checking it twice..."

Already knows who's naughty or nice!

[catrose]

48. The usual uglies

[randr]

50. If only we could deport these asswipes. They are a blight on our Nations reputation.

They are also giving aid and comfort to our enemies.

[CTyankee]

52. AKA, the usual suspects...

[majdrfrtim]

53. May they receive

everything they deserve.

[marieo1]

55. Disgusting pieces of humanity

A bunch of PUKES!!!

[mahina]

57. if slime mold became semi-sentient. Apologies to slime mold.

I'm off to find the youtube of McCartney walk and talking w Ryan and some other winger. Salient quote: "There are two people Putin is paying", roughly.

And that pic of Putin at a round table with a cast of monsters. It's funny how Democrats never went to Russia to get paid off by Pootie.
This shit hole is deep and smells from miles away.

[Emile]

58. Putin's puppets. We already know they are traitors!

[Rhiannon12866]

64. At last mine wasn't listed, she's already a national embarrassment

Stefanik.

[WarGamer]

65. Most GOP'ers are warmongers so not surpised that only a few were sitting on their hands.

[Doremus]

69. Makes a handy pocket reference of compromised members. nt

[peppertree]

70. Hall of SHAME

No better than the Bund-butts during World War II.

[Cha]

72. Putin wingRot, Thomas Massie wouldn't even go..

Link to tweet

[Cha]

75. Anybody see if JD Vance sat on his ass?

At one point during his campaign he was saying how much he didn't care about what happened in Ukraine.

[Prairie_Seagull]

76. They should be put on the record answering the Questions:

Why didn't you stand when all others did? Then get more specific. When President Zelenski said x and you remained seated,,,why?

This is not original, it was mentioned by someone last night. Ok maybe the "more specific" stuff is mine but I am sure others are thinking the same way.

Fuck you, you fuckers.
