"I encourage all my colleagues in Congress to come here," U.S. Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick, a pro-Ukraine Republican representing Pennsylvania, said during his visit to the front line.

        I understand your sentiment and frustration, and I’m also in so much pain from the political situation in the US. I think this congressperson should be commended for showing support for Ukraine in an incredibly overt and tangible way. I don’t think it helps us to shun all republicans, though I can understand those who do. If people like him can use their power to lead people back to goodness, I think we’ll more quickly go back to truly being great again

          It’s also politically dangerous with how much Trump despises Ukraine and will gladly talk shit on Republicans, but never has a cross word to say about Putin.

          I believe he is pro-Ukrainian because he visited the front lines to show support.

    Seriously we need to show tacit support for this specific event. Yes he’s a republican. Yes republicans are pieces of shit. But he is showing and saying unwavering support for Ukraine.
