Stunned Seth Moulton Calls ‘Coward’ Trump’s Shocking Zelensky Meeting An ‘Embarrassment’

Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) was one of many critics who were stunned by Friday’s tense press conference between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Moulton joined CNN to react to the sit-down where both Trump and Vice President JD Vance told Zelensky in front of cameras he should be more thankful for the support of the United States while his country continues to fight off an invasion from Russia.

Moulton argued the meeting would go down as an “embarrassment” in history while he called the president a “coward” and said he wished Zelensky did more to put Trump and Vance “in their place.” The congressman referred to Trump as a “puppet” of Russian President Vladimir Putin over his treatment of Zelensky.

Check out Moulton’s exchange with CNN’s Boris Sanchez below:

SETH MOULTON: The President of the United States is a coward who is Vladimir Putin’s puppet. And the vice president of the United States is a pogue and a coward who is Donald Trump’s puppet. And so what we just witnessed was a meeting in the Oval Office between two cowardly puppets and a hero. And whether you voted for these puppets or not, just as an American, as a fellow American, it’s just embarrassing that the only hero in the Oval Office, the only decent human being for that matter is the Ukrainian. I mean, this administration is going to go down as an embarrassment to American history.

BORIS SANCHEZ: Congressman, I wonder if you think that President Zelensky could have handled it differently the way that some of his European counterparts and Emmanuel Macron and Keir Starmer did, and perhaps been more deferential to Trump and Vance.

MOULTON: Deferential to what? Deferential to a president who allowed a deal in his first term to crumble because Putin just violated it. Deferential to to a vice president who didn’t even bother to visit Ukraine? I hardly know anyone in Congress who has any view on national security who hasn’t been to Ukraine during this war. Deferential to a draft dodger who’s our commander in chief? Zelensky doesn’t deserve to be deferential to anyone in that Oval Office. In fact, I kind of wish he’d put them in their place a little bit stronger. I mean.
