During a contentious meeting on Friday between President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and their guest, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the meeting ended after Zelenskyy’s disrespectful behavior saw him removed from the White House. President Trump remarked after the meeting, “He [Zelenskyy]is not ready for peace.”
On Monday, SiriusXM’s Megyn Kelly said on “The Megyn Kelly Show” that the Democrats had “shat all over” the U.S. mineral deal with Ukraine before the Oval Office meeting had even begun.
Kelly specifically called out Sens. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) and Chris Murphy (D-CT) for their comments before the meeting had even begun. Kelly questioned if Zelenskyy’s behavior was emboldened by their remarks.
“Why? Why would he have handled it this way? Well, perhaps we need look no further than the Democratic senators with whom Mr. Zelensky met before he went to the White House. I mean within the hour,” Kelly said.
Kelly shared an X post from Senator Kelly from before the Oval Office meeting, telling the diminutive leader that the American people were”behind him in this struggle” and that he felt “uncomfortable that this now appears to be sort of a business transaction.”

Kelly discussed a post that Murphy put up, also prior to the meeting, where he wrote that Ukraine “will not support a fake peace agreement where Putin gets everything he wants and there are no security arrangements.”
Included in the post was a picture of Murphy, Zelenskyy, and other officials.

Kelly said, “You see what he did?”
“His post accompanied a picture of Zelenskyy at a conference table with ‘Oh, who’s that across from him? It’s Senator Murphy, who’s right across from him.’ This was within one hour of Zelenskyy’s White House meeting.”
She continued, “The Democrats bashed the two-phase deal Trump was arranging of one, a financial agreement, and then, two, a ceasefire deal as, ‘A fake peace agreement with no security arrangements to Mr. Zelensky’ right before he went to the White House. ‘It’s fake. There’s no security arrangements. It’s a business deal. I’m uncomfortable with it. I want assurances.’”
“I guess, in Chris Murphy’s case, that the people that you’re not going to sign it.”
During the meeting, when Zelenskyy criticized the U.S. for not working on stopping Russia, President Trump retaliated, warning Zelenskyy that he was “gambling” with World War III and millions of lives. He also reminded him that his country has already received billions of dollars in aid courtesy of U.S. taxpayers.
Kelly shared, “Then he [Zelenskyy] went to the White House to sign what was clearly phase one. No, it wasn’t the ultimate ceasefire. It wasn’t the security arrangement deal. It was the first part of it, which was the minerals deal. Which is the thing that Trump has been saying all along will be, in essence, a form of U.S. security, because if we’re investing hundreds of billions of dollars trying to extract these raw earth materials from Ukraine, his theory is that Vladimir Putin will not mess with Ukraine.”
“He’ll be messing with our interests. Then, when it comes to boots on the ground, the Europeans are going to speak to that in phase two of this deal.”
“But it was shat all over by Chris Murphy and others … The Democrats, now that it devolved to a fight, have reverted to their tried and true accusation that Trump is no more than Putin’s puppet, that this whole thing was an ambush by Trump of Zelenskyy because he wants to do the bidding of Vladimir Putin.”
