U.S. Representative Jasmine Crockett confronted her colleagues in Congress to recognize clearly that Russia invaded Ukraine, countering comments made by former President Donald Trump. Trump has suggested that Ukraine initiated the conflict, calling President Zelensky a dictator and questioning the Ukrainian government’s urgency in ending the war. During a House hearing, Crockett highlighted the seriousness of the misinformation and called for accountability among lawmakers, emphasizing that denial of the invasion could escalate tensions and lead to broader international repercussions.
It is time for us to say, Mr. President, guess what? Russia invaded Ukraine! Facts matter! This is literally, potentially putting us into an international crisis!
Crockett called out Trump and her Republican colleagues for their apparent reluctance to state the fact that Russia invaded Ukraine... that question was met with silence in the chamber.
