“You talk so much about President Trump being a humanitarian. You are a humanitarian also sir, and I salute that. I commend you."
WTF Witkoff?

" While Russia murders Ukrainians and helps Iran target Americans, Witkoff is busy groveling before Putin as if he’s forgotten whose interests he’s supposed to represent. It's a shameful, humiliating spectacle, unworthy of anyone speaking on behalf of the United States."
