Warren ignores Harris and labels Zelensky her current ‘political role model’ – Washington Examiner
During a recent Senate debate in Massachusetts, Senator Elizabeth Warren expressed her admiration for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, labeling him her current “political role model.” This remark came during a discussion with her Republican opponent, John Deaton, where they were asked to name a contemporary political figure they looked up to. Warren emphasized Zelensky’s courage and leadership amid the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, stating, “He has been on the front lines for three years.” Deaton countered by reminding Warren of the financial aid the U.S. has provided to Ukraine. Meanwhile, it appeared that Warren ignored Vice President Kamala Harris when asked about role models, focusing solely on Zelensky.
Warren ignores Harris and labels Zelensky her current ‘political role model’
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) gave Vice President Kamala Harris the cold shoulder and called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky her active “political role model” Thursday during her debate against Republican challenger John Deaton.
“You know, I give a lot of credit to, uh, President Zelensky, who has been on the front lines for three years,” Warren said during the Massachusetts Senate debate after she and Deaton were asked to name a political role model who is currently in office.
“You gave him a lot of money, too,” Deaton, a Marine veteran and attorney, responded.
Zelensky has championed the fight for democracy, Warren continued.
“Someone who’s fought on the front lines fighting for democracy,” she said.
Both Deaton and Warren were asked in the debate about America’s support for Ukraine as another winter of war against Russia approaches.
“The Ukraine war is the single biggest issue in this election, period,” Deaton said, according to a report. “One mistake and we’re in World War III.”
He criticized the billions of taxpayer dollars given to Zelensky’s government for a war that is a “stalemate at best.”
Deaton declared that the money going to Ukraine could have found a better use being utilized to expand Medicaid and universal pre-K programs, the report noted.
Warren disagreed and called for Ukraine and Zelensky to be backed by the United States in the face of Russian aggression.
“Anyone who thinks that we can turn our backs on Ukraine and that Vladimir Putin won’t take the whole country and, after he takes that country, take another and another and another is just kidding themself,” she said.
