GOP Senators Ripped For Reckless Tweets During Zelenskyy Zoom Call

By Heather — March 5, 2022

Despite the fact that Ukraine's ambassador specifically asked them to stay off of social media during a Zoom call with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, senators Marco Rubio, Steve Daines and Chuck Grassley posted screenshots of the meeting.

Rep. Dean Phillips and others on Twitter responded appropriately to their reckless, irresponsible behavior:

The Ukrainian Ambassador very intentionally asked each of us on the zoom to NOT share anything on social media during the meeting to protect the security of President Zelenskyy. Appalling and reckless ignorance by two US Senators. https://t.co/geolhKxbLp

As Raw Story reported:

Critics of Rubio were quick to flood in his mentions demanding to know why he couldn't follow a simple request, with one asking, "Why the hell would you risk that man’s life by tweeting this in real time when you were specifically asked not to?!"

That was just the beginning of the Rubio pile-on.

Reported for endangering the life of a foreign leader.

Here's more in response to Daines and Grassley as well.

Shame on you for putting him in danger. GOP Gush Over Putin Party is a national security nightmare!

Still on the payroll, I see. Couldn't follow directions on the Zoom call, huh? Is Pootie paying you in crypto now that the ruble has tanked? pic.twitter.com/PPk1pGVTM9

Are you helping Putin find his target? You were specifically asked not to share this information but you had to be first to get it out on Twitter. Shame on you!

Hoping to improve their accuracy?? Using a screenshot of Zelensky to promote yourself, when you were asked not to - tells you what you need to know about @ChuckGrassley and his “support”. He supported Trump’s attempt to withhold U.S. aid for Ukraine all the way so this tracks. https://t.co/bAH0lMKcrS
