Fox News anchor Chris Wallace argued that former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch’s testimony in front of the House Intelligence Committee was moving.
Yovanovitch, a career foreign service officer, appeared in front of the committee on Friday for the second day of public hearings in the impeachment investigation. She was removed from her position last spring and has pointed the finger at President Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani for starting a smear campaign against her.
“I think that if you are not moved, and we’ll have to wait and see what happens in the cross-examinations, but if you were not moved by the testimony of Marie Yovanovitch today, you don’t have a pulse. This is a woman who had served in seven posts for presidents of both parties over more than 30 years, hardship posts, places like Somalia, like Tashkent,” Wallace commented.
He added, “And she tells a story being a leading fighter against corruption in Ukraine and being called out of a meeting at the U.S. embassy that was to honor an anti-corruption fighter who was later killed because acid was thrown in that woman’s face.”
Wallace notably called the testimony of William Taylor, the top U.S. diplomat in Ukraine, which occurred on Wednesday, “Very damaging to the president.”
