Not surprisingly, the hot takes from The Usual Suspects in response to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s speech to Congress Wednesday night were fast and flowing, with the consensus seeming to be that anyone who wasn’t giddy with excitement to the point they were tripping all over themselves to virtue signal their support for Zelensky was nothing short of a “useful idiot” for Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Such claims have been a common theme in Democrat/media circles ever since Russia invaded Ukraine every time questions have been raised about the level of U.S. involvement. But as my RS colleague Nick Arama astutely observed, one can still “believe in keeping Russian ambitions in check” while also believing that the U.S. “should not be [an endlessly flowing] money spigot” into foreign entanglements, with what’s best for America ultimately needing to take priority.
With all of that in mind, we turn to MSNBC’s favorite “historian” Michael Beschloss who, among other things, once warned that if the Republican red wave took place that “our children will be arrested and conceivably killed.” In another example – this one from 2020, Beschloss declared that “Abraham Lincoln never told an esteemed reporter, ‘Don’t talk to me that way! . . .I’m the President of the United States. Don’t ever talk to the President that way!'” before being reminded about Lincoln’s actual history where he shut down some 300 newspapers and issued an executive order for the “arrest and imprisonment of irresponsible newspaper reporters and editors.”
And on Wednesday after Zelensky addressed Congress, Beschloss was at it again, demanding to know why certain members – like Reps. Matt Gaetz and Lauren Boebert – did not stand nor applaud Zelensky at certain points during the speech (though they did stand and clap towards the end):

Wow, some actual history. Lincoln also suspended habeas corpus. Not my favorite President.
The suspension of rights do not right a wrong, or in other words two lefts don’t make a right, or is that wrongs? 🤣 It’s never two leftists.
Just an observation. his last name translates to “decided” from German.
You mean like punishing white people today for what some white people did 150 years ago isnt actually righting anything.

Absolutely, it’s not exactly a secret that the US has been directly involved in targeting Russian ships and facilities. No one in Washington has any right to cry if Russia starts acting in self-defense against this. And anyone _still_ in the US military as of 2022 has no excuse. It has nothing to do with defending America - not while it ignores an invasion on the southern border for example - and everything to do with enforcing the dictates of the unelected and arrogant elites in the Capitol District.

Zelensky and Biden, both are enemies of our Constitutional Republic.
Because this is America and you’re allowed to have a dissenting opinion without being put in a gulag you fascist moron Michael

BINGO!
You are delusional if you honestly think that rat-faced psychopath Zelensky is using all of the stolen US taxpayer cash to “defend his borders.” That corrupt POS and his criminal lackeys are wiring that money to covert offshore accounts.
Like I said, DELUSIONAL.

Starting to see any similarities?
U.S. taxpayers are being fleeced, to send millions and billions of $$$ to all, and more.
That guy’s lack of enthusiasm was duly noted. I don’t think it ended well for him.
a historian who lacks the perspective that allows him to understand why people don’t clap is no historian.
The YUGE majoritiy of them looked like it was their first Beatles concert. Such fan boys/girls. Does nanzi have a signed poster from vlad in her office? Fidiots! They would probably treat mengelefauci the same........
