Obama's political guru reveals the major moment from Trump's Zelensky meltdown that everyone missed

Daily Mail  

Veteran Democratic strategist David Axelrod revealed the 'very odd' moment Vice President contradicted the president during Trump's Zelensky meltdown that no one seemed to clock. The former Obama adviser pointed out that during yesterday's heated Oval Office showdown, Vance said Russia invaded Ukraine - with Axelrod admitting, 'That's something that the president won't say.' David Alexrod, a former Obama adviser, pointed out the moment Vance said Russia invaded Ukraine and said, ' that's something that the President won't say' US Vice President JD Vance speaks during a meeting between US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in the Oval Office of the White House 'He was trying to make a point that Ukraine had a lot at stake in trying to end the war, but in making the point he actually contradicted the president who refuses to say that same,' Alexrod said Alexrod continued saying that there was a sense of 'intent to try and blow up this meeting.' During yesterday's Oval Office spat that ended with Zelensky abruptly exiting the White House after being asked to leave, Vance said: 'For four years, the United States of America, we had a president who stood up at press conferences and talked tough about Vladimir Putin, and then Putin invaded Ukraine and destroyed a significant chunk of the country.' U.S. Vice President JD Vance said: 'For four years, the United States of America, we had a president who stood up at press conferences and talked tough about Vladimir Putin, and then Putin invaded Ukraine and destroyed a significant chunk of the country' Vice President JD Vance speaks alongside President Donald Trump as they meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky He described former President Joe Biden as 'thumping' the nation's chest and 'pretending that the president of the United States' words mattered more than actions.'
