Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) offered an apology to the world following a tense dustup between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House on Friday.
In their exchange in front of cameras, Trump and Vice President JD Vance told Zelensky to be more grateful for the aid he’s received as his country continues to fight off a Russian invasion. Trump told Zelensky to change his “attitude” and that he’s “gambling with World War III” as he claimed Zelensky needed to do more to negotiate a ceasefire deal.
Crockett took to X to slam Trump as a “dumb dupe” while praising “brave” Zelensky for leading his country in a time of war. The congresswoman called Trump and Vance “bullies” in her apology.
“It’s been a long day… but in short, bullies ain’t shit! I don’t care what title you hold! This isn’t some long gone reality tv show or failed casino….this is war!
Crockett apologized the foreign countries for the United States’ “bright light” dimming.
“Let me say this to the WORLD, I am sorry that the bright light America used to be is dimming,” she wrote.
Following the clash at the White House, Zelensky offered a thank you to the American people and lawmakers for supporting Ukraine in the war. Trump meanwhile took to Truth Social to accused the Ukrainian president of disrespecting the Oval Office.
“It’s amazing what comes out through emotion, and I have determined that President Zelenskyy is not ready for Peace if America is involved, because he feels our involvement gives him a big advantage in negotiations,” the president wrote. “I don’t want advantage, I want PEACE. He disrespected the United States of America in its cherished Oval Office. He can come back when he is ready for Peace.”
