Full List of Republicans Who Sat During Zelensky's Speech

Seven Republican lawmakers "repeatedly remained seated" during standing ovations for President Volodymyr Zelensky during the Ukrainian leader's address to Congress on Wednesday, according to one reporter, though all joined "standing ovations during the last portions" of his speech.

Zelensky was warmly welcomed to Congress as part of his first trip outside Ukraine since the Russian invasion of his country began on February 24.

Speaking before a joint session of Congress, Zelensky thanked the American people for their support, and paid tribute to lawmakers from both parties who have provided support to Ukraine.

Zelensky's address was enthusiastically received, with the vast majority of lawmakers joining repeated standing ovations as he vowed Ukraine would repel Putin's army.

However, a small group of right-wing House Republicans appeared less impressed, remaining seated during at least some ovations.

Representatives Matt Gaetz, Lauren Boebert, Andrew Clyde, Diana Harshbarger, Warren Davidson, Michael Cloud and Jim Jordan "repeatedly remaining seated in standing ovations" whilst Zelensky gave his speech, according to Axios Congress reporter Andrew Solender.

Washington Post reporter Leigh Ann Caldwell tweeted: "During one standing ovation, Rep. Clyde (R-Ga.) was one of the few who didn't stand. When Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) encouraged him to stand, Clyde seemed to mouth 'I'm not. I'm not,' while shaking his head."

This version of events was supported by Solender, who said Clyde "shook his head no to a colleague next to him who stood up."

Solender later reported all seven of the House Republicans who had remained seated joined ovations during the latter part Zelensky's address.

He tweeted: "Now all of them, including Gaetz, Boebert and Clyde, standing for standing ovations during the last portions of Zelensky's speech."

Boebert later posted a video saying she would not support "sending additional money to this war," until "Congress receives a full audit of where our money has already gone."

She said: "President Zelensky is working to protect his country's border and his people, I get it, I really just wish our commander in chief would do the same right here at home and secure our southern border."

The U.S. has already provided Ukraine with around $48 billion in humanitarian and military aid, more than any other country, according to the Kiel Institute for the World Economy.

A number of Trump supporting right-wingers openly criticized Zelensky, including Donald Trump Jr. who branded him "an ungrateful international welfare queen," and tweeted an edited photograph showing a naked Hunter Biden appearing to gatecrash Zelensky's speech.

The attacks prompted an angry backlash on social media, with Democratic Representative Ritchie Torres tweeting: "Tucker Carlson, Lauren Boebert, and Matt Gaetz stand with Putin; most of America stands with Zelensky and the people of Ukraine.

"The contrast between the far right and most of America has never been more glaring."

Meghan McCain, daughter of deceased Republican presidential candidate John McCain, branded Boebert and Gaetz "an embarrassment."

Before Zelensky's arrival, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said providing Ukraine with assistance is "the number one priority for the United States right now according to most Republicans."

The House Republicans has been contacted for comment.
