The Left’s outrage brigade was in full flower on Saturday when they learned that Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Steve Daines (R-MT) had tweeted a photo of Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky during a Zoom call. I suspect everyone reading this is squinting at their screen and muttering, “So?”
Evidently, the Ukrainian Ambassador demanded that none be asked. shareInformation about the meeting during the meetings. Rubio and Danes shared a Zelensky photo on Twitter while Zelensky was still there. This was apparently similar to giving the Rooskies targeting coordinates.

They quickly rose to action. They quickly activated an outrage hive, and then rushed to meet the threat. “OH. MY. GOD! You just put Zelensky in the crosshairs of Putin’s sniper rifle! Literally dead!” The outrage participants included the usual hardcore leftist nuts, and some RINOs like Michael Steele. They all jumped aboard the insane train. They were demanding that Twitter act — and act now — before the Russians launch a nuke! They raged, and they demanded that Twitter take down the tweet! Zelensky’s life is in danger! Literally!
The left is like a terrible thriller or Austin Powers film when it comes to Ukraine. The Russians imagine themselves sitting in a secret spy compound with two techs for Twitter and Rubio. He instantly sees Rubio’s tweet, and runs to his boss, Col Kissov. Kissov takes out the red phone to call Putin.
We have Zelensky, Comrade! His location is being triangulated. Comrade Putin, how do you explain this? Location is determined by the colour of the shirt, background and location of flag. Da! Comrade! Our secret laser satellite has been assigned to us as we speak
It is not the same reality. Zelensky was not in danger, unless he had set up the Zoom call at a street corner, or he was at the local Internet café in a spot labeled:
“Reserved for President Zelensky’s Secret Zoom Call to USA at 2:00 AM”
Rubio took a photograph during the meeting and was asked not too. Although it was terrible form, however, the meeting was finished before the outrage mob had the time to arrange the hive. Rubio hash-tagged #Ukraine in the tweet, but didn’t tag Zelensky.
The Twitter reaction was hilarious.
Fact check: True.
Russians are able to triangulate the geographical positions of anyone using only a brown chair or a flag from Ukraine.
Marco Rubio is shedding his blood on your behalf. Is there anything wrong? https://t.co/RaPn4xLKlz

Sure, it was bad form from Rubio and Daines that they didn’t wait 10 minutes for the meeting to end (maybe they did). But Zelensky wasn’t zooming from said café in the middle of Kyiv. The Russians were not able to see Zelensky’s position because he was in plain view.
Zelensky didn’t die from a Russian, secret laser strike, but the pearl-clutchers sure died a thousand deaths on Twitter.
