Washington, D.C. – Tuesday night, U.S. Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) joined Fox News’s Laura Ingraham on-set of The Ingraham Angle to preview President Trump’s Joint Address before Congress. The senator stressed the importance of using the president’s peace through strength message to end the war in Ukraine, echoed the need for Elbridge Colby to serve as Under Secretary of Defense for Policy, and pointed out the lack of leadership in the Democratic Party.

On why Zelensky should have thanked President Trump:

“Well, he messed up, and fortunately, it’s going to work out in our favor, especially with the mineral deal.

“Bridge did a phenomenal job as he was sitting there, he showed that he was very capable of articulating the message that need to be said, but he also had a strong grasp on the issues.
