From an ABC (Oz) News article:

'Two cowardly puppets and a hero'

"Democratic Congressman Seth Moulton has reacted to the explosive Oval Office spat, describing the Ukrainian president as a "hero".

"    'The President of the United States is a coward who is Vladimir Putin's puppet. The Vice President of the United States is a pogue and a coward who is Donald Trump's puppet,' Mr Moulton told CNN.

"    'What we just witnessed was a meeting in the Oval Office between two cowardly puppets and a hero.

"    'And whether you voted for these puppets or not, just as an American, as a fellow American, it's just embarrassing that the only hero in the Oval Office, the only decent human being for that matter, is the Ukrainian.

"    'I mean, this administration is going to go down as an embarrassment to American history.'"

[Note: I'm assuming that the term "pogue" refers to the Irish Gaelic phrase póg mo thóin (anglicised to pogue mahone) meaning "kiss my arse" and from which Irish punk band The Pogues took their name. So, I'm assuming that Congressman Seth Moulton is calling JD Vance an arse kisser, but is JD smart enough to figure that out, or true-minded enough to take a hint from it?]
