    “Sir we invited an Ukranian war hero, is that ok?”

    What was he supposed to do, order a quick background check on that old dude before applauding?

      I can’t tell if this is tongue in cheek, but the opposition is staying that this is exactly what should have happened before allowing the Nazi entry.

      My read on this situation is that it all seems obvious after the fact, but that’s cuz now we know. I believe the vetting process is being reviewed because of this event. Definitely a gaffe on the part of the speaker, if this info is truly so readily accessible

      After the fact, once it’s discovered who the individual was -> apologize to the people (citizens) for the mistake. Take responsibility like a leader should and at least start with the bare minimum of an “I’m sorry”

      Yes probably they should’ve thought of that beforehand. It’s literally politicians’ jobs… lazy twats
