Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) upped his critiques of President Trump over his handling of the Russia-Ukraine war, claiming he will be “judged in the history books” over it.

“‘It is [former President] Biden’s and [Ukrainian President Volodymyr] Zelenskyy’s war’ is so morally blind and factually wrong,” Bacon said in a Saturday morning post on social platform X, referencing an earlier post from Trump.
