Zelensky visited the factory flanked by Pennsylvania Democrats, including Gov. Josh Shapiro (D). It is common for governors to appear at such events in their state. Johnson and Comer, however, said appearing with a political figure who was briefly a contender to serve as Harris's running mate made the stop political in nature.
Meanwhile Russia's spraying the country with a firehose of lies, and illegally funneling money in to influence the election. IIRC Johnson got a hefty campaign donation from Russia, which he had to return when it was noticed.
But no, this is clearly the real outrage. Just because he didn't endorse any politician or party and didn't appear with any presidential candidate doesn't mean that this wasn't obviously election interference. Just look what he's doing, reminding people that Ukraine exists and shaking hands with American workers who build the shells that are helping to save his country. What could be more sinister?
For real though, the pro-Putin wing is desperate to spin this story because it clearly shows how full of shit they are when they bitch about spending money on Ukraine instead of keeping it in the US. Supporting Ukraine isn't just good for upholding the international order, safeguarding allies, and degrading Russia's capabilities for remarkably little cost, but it's also supporting domestic manufacturing jobs.
Mike is barely in control of his party, just ignored them and Donnie by "funding the government" (what a controversy!) and is probably about to lose his job (either by his party, or by election). Zelenskyy should not pay this stunt much attention; just have someone privately tell them what they want to hear, and carry on.
