Don Bacon, a Republican representative, called for Steve Witkoff’s immediate dismissal. “For those who oppose the Russian invasion and want to see Ukraine prevail as a sovereign & democratic country, it is clear that Witkoff fully favors the Russians,” the Nebraska lawmaker wrote on X.
“He cannot be trusted to lead these negotiations. Would a Russian paid agent do less than he? He should be fired.”
Brian Fitzpatrick, a Pennsylvania Republican wrote that the leak represented “a major problem” and “one of the many reasons why these ridiculous side shows and secret meetings need to stop”. He urged that the secretary of state, Marco Rubio, be allowed to “do his job in a fair and objective manner”.
JFC. This administration is so utterly corrupt.
They throw him under the bus while the people who orchestrated all this will go unscathed.
The ACTUAL TRAITORS, you mean?
I’m pretty sure traitorous conduct should result in more that being simply fired.
Who would ever support that sort of thing, though?
Please note that these are republicans saying this shit.
The GOP knows what’s coming with the Epstein files and Trump’s steep fall into dementia. They also know they’re getting an historic ass kicking in the upcoming primaries. They’re setting themselves up to say, “Yeah, I knew this administration was full of shit all along.”
They are probably asking him to be fired because he was involved in leaked information, not because of the content. They have done a great job limiting the amount of leaked information and probably view the leak as a threat.
