50. Again, what are you talking about? ...

Yes ... My "outrage" is selective, even highly so.

Color me outrage-selective, but why should I be outraged that Congress-folks (i.e., citizens and elected representatives of citizens) are exercising their right to represent their constituencies, albeit, prematurely?

And why, as a US citizen, should I give equal weight to that, compared to a foreign government's (and the majority party's) attempt to, not only, embarrass the Office of the Presidency, but to place their interests before MY government, when Their interests, oppose the interests of MY government?

I would have no problem with Bebi setting up a platform at 1599 Pennsylvania Ave and shouting his position for all to here ... I have a major problem with him doing so, in a formal Congressional gathering.
