J.D. Vance goes all the way to Munich just to insult Ukraine
< < Go Back
This past weekend, Sen. J.D. Vance traveled all the way to Germany and back for a conference, but the Ohio Republican didn’t bother to attend some key meetings, including one with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. That’s too bad, because he might have learned why his Trumpian talking points about how Ukraine can’t win the war and how the United States can no longer provide aid are so dangerously wrong.
Dozens of U.S. officials and lawmakers attended the annual Munich Security Conference at the ornate Hotel Bayerischer Hof. Vice President Harris addressed the conference on Friday afternoon; Zelensky spoke on Saturday morning, after German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and before Secretary of State Antony Blinken. Vance arrived on Saturday morning, as did several other later-arriving members of Congress. Seeing as how he would be addressing the conference during a panel discussion about U.S.-Europe relations on Sunday morning, one might think Vance would be curious about what European and Ukrainian leaders had to say.
