[Senator Joe Biden in 1998]
Basic etiquette requires you treat guests with respect or even deference. Since he’s in your house, you can kick him out at any time. You can refuse to offer him drinks or food. Though no fan of Zelensky, I’m astounded by how he was treated by Trump and Vance yesterday. Speaking in a foreign language, Zelensky was berated and shouted down by two immature bullies as a swarm of aliens looked on. This bush league clown couldn’t have been more naked. After this spectacle, Zelensky was shown the door.
Fox News, “Zelenskyy leaves White House after Trump ‘kicked him out.’” Who said “kicked him out”? Who’s quoted? Jacqui Heinrich explains, “Well, Zelensky, we are told, was begging to stay and work this out. The Ukrainians were begging at the President in the White House, to continue talking. The President is having none of it.” Kicked out Ukrainians begged. This is nearly Idiocracy level of news reporting.
