Here’s a chance to offer something positive—a contrast to Trump looking like he is siding with Putin’s Russia in the Russian-Ukraine War with his made-for-television ambush of Zelenskyy in the Oval Office and subsequent withholding of aid and military intelligence from Ukraine.
We have a substantial community of Ukrainian refugees here in Spokane—people living in uncertainty and subject to Trump’s and MAGA’s anti-immigrant fervor.
To see the flavor of a prior show of support, check out this short KHQ video of a gathering a little less than a month ago on the third anniversary of Russia’s most recent invasion. Another three and half minute video well worth your time also offers perspective. In this video it is heartening that U.S. Rep. Baumgartner expresses his support—but it is hard not to feel that he is way over his head as he consistently votes with the thin MAGA majority in Congress. As a freshman congressman it seems highly unlikely that he has the ear of the president.
