Showing Original Post only (View all)Full List of Republicans Who Sat During Zelensky's Speech [View all]
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.

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.

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

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