Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE) said first lady Melania Trump should receive some praise for President Donald Trump‘s pivot on Ukraine in its war with Russia.

“Well, I’m glad that the president has pivoted on Ukraine,” Bacon said in an interview on NewsNation Sunday. “I think we owe Melania some thanks here. Even the president said that his wife reminds him every day that Russia is bombing Ukrainian cities every night.”
