On Friday, former Tea Party Congressman Joe Walsh (R-IL), a vocal conservative critic of the Trump-era Republican Party, remarked that he was relieved former President Donald Trump was no longer in charge at the moment Russia is launching a violent, full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
"If Trump were President, the United States would be doing NOTHING to stop Putin," he wrote on Twitter. "Thank God Trump isn't President."
This remark did not sit well with Fox News contributor Liz Peek, who responded, calling him "delusional" and seeming to blame "delusional" President Joe Biden for the crisis.
You, like @JoeBiden, are truly delusional. Reality check: this could not be going worsehttps://twitter.com/walshfreedom/status/1495751545677299714\u00a0\u2026— Liz Peek (@Liz Peek) 1645798766
Walsh, however, was quick to respond — with two simple questions for her.
Liz, respectfully, 2 questions: 1) Putin, and only Putin, is responsible for this invasion, correct? 2) Biden has done a really good job of unifying our allies to respond, correct? Thanks @lizpeekhttps://twitter.com/lizpeek/status/1497214659694317574\u00a0\u2026— Joe Walsh (@Joe Walsh) 1645799405
The invasion of Ukraine has already reached the capital city of Kyiv, with residents taking shelter inside subway stations to protect from bombings.
