Progressive Democrats Withdraw Controversial Letter Calling On President Biden To Push Harder For “Diplomacy” To End The Russia - Ukraine War

 

NY Daily News: Progressive Democrats pull controversial letter asking Biden to negotiate with Putin for Ukraine ‘diplomacy’ 

Progressive Democrats on Tuesday abruptly withdrew a controversial letter calling on President Joe Biden to push harder for “diplomacy” to end Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, a message that appeared to undermine American unity behind Kyiv. 

Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., yanked the open letter, which was originally signed by 30 lawmakers, amid a firestorm of criticism from political foes and the White House alike.

Jayapal apologized for the letter, which was written over the summer and inexplicably released Monday, just two weeks before the midterm elections. 

“The letter was drafted several months ago, but unfortunately was released by staff without vetting,” the Washington Democrat wrote in a statement. 

As chair of the caucus, Jayapal said she took responsibility for this.
