Following the lead of former vice president Mike Pence, Republican New York congressman Mike Lawler, Nebraska representative Don Bacon, and South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham (infamous for his flip-flopping and fence-sitting on US President Donald Trump’s tactics) more Republicans lined up in front of the microphones on Wednesday to express disdain for the president’s handling of a peace deal in Ukraine.
Later in the day, he was joined by other prominent GOP voices, including the Senate’s top Republican, Majority Leader John Thune, who disagreed with Trump’s depiction of Zelensky as a dictator, and said that “there’s no question who started the war.” Sen. Roger Wicker, Republican of Mississippi, and Sen. John Kennedy, Republican of Louisiana were among the most direct in their pushback against the Trump administration’s obsequious dealings with the Kremlin.
Since then, the backlash from established Republicans (in stark contrast to those junior members in the House, especially, who owe their political careers to Trump alone) has been building. Many conservatives are coming out in defense of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and the soldiers who have died defending their country in Russia’s three-year unprovoked invasion.

A Sad Moment in American History
This would be impeachment worthy if Democrats held House/Senate, it should be impeachment worthy to any normal American who cares for their country and their allies, but Republicans would never impeach their own, all that matters now is "owning the Libs" and being a "Winner" comes before anything else. I wish Bernie Sanders was younger, he is the type of leader that America needs.
