Scalise Rewrites Trump's Extortion Of Ukraine
House Republicans held a presser today and after attacking Biden, gaslighted Trump's entire extortion plot which led to his first impeachment.
Republican Whip Scalise began his time at the podium by celebrating the Ukrainian people and admiring their spirit and pushback against "Putin's barbaric invasion of these great people."
But that was short-lived. House Republicans were being nice to Ukraine and used the Ukraine invasion to attack President Biden over oil prices and production.
The Keystone pipeline, oil independence, prices, yada, yada, yada.
Then came time for some questions.
Reporter: "Given where we are right now, what rethinking have you done on Trump’s withholding of military aid to Zelensky as he pressured him to investigate Joe and Hunter Biden?"
Scalise: "First of all if you look at that conversation, President Zelensky had called President Trump to thank him for the leadership that he provided when Zelensky got elected, he said he modeled his campaign after Trump."
HAHAHA. All the world leaders knew that if you wanted to get something, anything from the US and Trump you had to flatter his ego.
Just look how ridiculous Puerto Rico's leaders were when Trump was in Puerto Rico after they got devastated by a hurricane.
Scalise made no mention of the extortion scheme Trump and Giuliani tried to orchestrate and instead made believe it had no consequences.
