With Russia having commenced a full-scale invasion of Ukraine on Thursday morning, pure liberal partisans clamored for a response with the war going down on President Biden’s watch.

Scarborough: GOP Criticism of 'Weak' Biden A 'Disgrace to America'
On Wednesday's Morning Joe, co-host Joe Scarborough called House Republicans who have called Biden "weak" in his handling of the Ukraine crisis, a "disgrace to America" who should "bow their heads in shame."

NBC Brings on Obama’s Russia Ambassador to Praise Biden on Ukraine
On Wednesday, NBC’s Today show brought on former U.S. Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul to discuss the Russian invasion of Ukraine and heap praise on President Biden’s failed foreign policy.
