Chairman Schiff mentioned on MSNBC’s The Sunday Display with Jonathan Capehart:
And as you are saying, only a reminder for other people of who that first impeachment was once about — first of all, it’s important for other people to acknowledge Ukraine has been at struggle with Russia for a very long time. Again throughout that impeachment, there have been Ukrainians combating and demise each week on the fingers of Russians and Russian-backed separatists Donald Trump was once keeping again army assist to Ukraine to extort Zelinsky of Ukraine to assist him smear his opponent Joe Biden.
He cared that little concerning the long term of democracy to make use of that nation, withhold its army enhance, to get that political assist. And so if he had been president lately, you understand, once more, he would view Ukraine as one thing — merely a disposable software in his hand to higher himself with Putin who he so admires. He could be calling Putin a genius as he’s lately. God assist the folk of Ukraine if he had been the president proper now.
Rep. Schiff was once proper. The concept that Trump would have defended Ukraine within the face of Russian aggression is laughable as a result of he already attempted to blackmail Ukraine for dust on Joe Biden.
Trump-supporting Republicans wish to act just like the struggle began with Russia’s invasion, however the Russian violence towards Ukraine was once taking place whilst Trump was once president, and his solution was once to withhold army assist and get Ukrainians killed.
Donald Trump would by no means have defended Ukraine as a result of he already has Ukrainian blood on his fingers.
