Strong, supportive comments for Zelenskyy from democrats here. These need boosting:

Senator Schiff: ““A hero and a coward are meeting in the Oval Office today. And when the meeting is over, the hero will return home to Ukraine.”
Senator Murphy: “What an utter embarrassment for America. This whole sad scene.”
Senator Gallego: “This is a disgrace.”
Senator Van Hollen: “beyond disgraceful”.

Senator Schumer: Trump and Vance “are doing Putin’s dirty work
Sheldon Whitehouse: Trump and Vance of “acting like ventriloquist dummies for Putin”
