Two Republican senators are facing backlash after tweeting photos of a video call with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy even though participating lawmakers were told to not share pictures to social media while it was in progress.
Sens. Marco Rubio of Florida and Steve Daines of Montana posted pictures of Zelenskyy to their Twitter accounts during the Zoom meeting Saturday morning, writing that they were on a call with him.
Democratic Reps. Dean Phillips of Minnesota and Jason Crow of Colorado criticized the senators on Twitter.
Phillips noted that the "Ukrainian ambassador very intentionally asked each of us on the Zoom to NOT share anything on social media during the meeting to protect the security of President Zelenskyy."
"Appalling and reckless ignorance by two U.S. Senators," Phillips wrote.
"The lack of discipline in Congress is truly astounding," Crow wrote. "If an embattled wartime leader asks you to keep quiet about a meeting, you better keep quiet about the meeting. Im not saying a damn thing. Lives are at stake."

Anything they can do to help reveal his location, theyll do.

Stop calling them reckless. No one is that stupid. They knew what they were doing.
