Does _anyone_ in these comments wonder what happened before JD goes off on Zelenskyy? What could have elicited such a scorched earth response from the VP while the administration is still negotiating?

That explosive clip, which I'm sure is all 99% of people have watched, happens like 40 minutes into an otherwise really quite friendly presser.

Very disappointed with practically all of you.

"Very disappointed with practically all of you"

Zelenskyy could have stood up and urinated on him and this still would have been inexcusable for any president of any party. They cannot control what others do but they can control their own behavior.

This is the most embarrassing incident in modern US history. Reuters was barred and TASS was present.

I truly do not care what people like you think of me.

Zelenskyy mentioned the 2019 deal that didn't work out, signed under the last Trump administration.
