"Just a MAGA troll making up shit in their basement" Statesman and U.S. Senator Christopher Murphy
/Sen. Murphy Rants Against 'MAGA World' After He's Called Out for Meeting With Zelenskyy Ahead of WH Visit
"Less than an hour before entering the Oval Office, Zelensky met with several lawmakers, including Murphy and other Democrats. Based on the wording of the above post, the senator (or someone else at the table) pressed the Ukrainian president to reject a 'fake peace agreement,' which is a clear shot at Trump's attempts at diplomacy. At the very least, these Democrats encouraged Zelensky to remain defiant in that position, and we all know what happened next."
“At the very least” is far too kind: these Democrats actively sought to sabotage the upcoming meeting; Murphy was quite proud of his and his fello warmongers’ efforts, until the criticism started pouring in; then it was “who, me? I never said it”. Here are his own posts: you decide.
Just finished a meeting with President Zelensky here in Washington. He confirmed that the Ukrainian people will not support a fake peace agreement where Putin gets everything he wants and there are no security arrangements for Ukraine. pic.twitter.com/eaCePJ4UZr

A “fake peace agreement where Putin gets everything he wants” — Murphy at al agreed with that summation, yet he now claims that they urged him to accept it anyway. Uh huh.
Here's the case.

Trump's alignment with Putin - and his plan to sell out Ukraine - is shameful.
But it's part of a bigger story. Trump sides with dictators bc it legitimizes his plan for America: a Russian-style kleptocracy where the rich steal from us to enrich themselves. pic.twitter.com/paFL4BHORi

Over the last 24 hours, MAGA has been ceaselessly spreading the claim that Democrats - from Susan Rice to Tony Blinken to me - pushed Zelensky to reject the minerals deal.

Total lie. Made up out of thin air. Zero sources.

MAGA is making the claim that if you watch the entire 50 minute video, Zelensky is the antagonist.

This isn't true. At all. I was with Zelensky before this meeting and it's important to know his mindset heading in.

Dems can’t get their story straight.
They came out of their Zelensky meeting trashing the deal - calling it “a fake peace agreement” giving Putin everything he wants.
When reported they pressured Z to not take the deal, Murphy calls it “a MAGA conspiracy” and they… pic.twitter.com/IpBbAsde4E
