Ben Rhodes: J.D. Vance Criticizing Zelenskyy Is ‘Russian Propaganda’

EXCERPT:

RHODES: “I get that some people are going to say Zelenskyy handled this poorly. I'm not going to sit here in my comfortable house and say that a man who is the president of a country that has seen 20,000 of its children kidnapped and taken to Russia and seen tens and tens of thousands of people killed, seen war crimes committed in the grossest way in places like Bucha, seen maternity hospitals bombed -- do you think you would have the patience to sit there and be humiliated and see your country humiliated, to say that they're propagandators, as J.D. Vance said, when people visit Ukraine and see horrible things? It's not propagandators, that's true. That's the reality of what's happening in Ukraine. The propaganda is what's coming out of J.D. Vance's mouth, and it's Russian propaganda.”
