GOP piles on Zelensky

[struggle4progress]

... Driving the news: Johnson said on NBC's "Meet the Press" Sunday that Zelensky needs to "come to his senses" and return to the negotiating table "in gratitude, or someone else needs to lead the country to do that."

Asked if Russian President Vladimir Putin also needed to step down, Johnson said he'd like to see him "defeated."

He argued the U.S. is not abandoning Ukraine but criticized the country's leader for appearing "rather stiff-necked in the Oval Office instead of being gracious and saying, 'Thank you,' and looking for a way out of this mess."
