“It was a unifying speech.” “I don’t think there’s a person in the room that did not have a tear in their eye. It’s a relatively simple but very grave conversation,” said Sen.

But the divisions were slight compared with the ones seen during former President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial two years ago. Many quietly wiped away tears or shook their heads as Zelenskyy paused to show a graphic video of the carnage being inflicted upon his country.

And this is very similar.” Standing alongside his GOP counterpart after the address, Meeks said he was not there “as a Democrat” and McCaul was “not here as a Republican. We’re here as Americans.” Inside the room for Zelenskyy’s speech, McCaul said “a lot of the members, and many that you’d be surprised by, were in tears” as the Ukrainian president showed spliced images of his country before the war and after.
