Political commentator Megyn Kelly said the Democratic Party had “shat all over” the U.S.-Ukraine minerals deal before the Oval Office showdown between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and President Donald Trump last week.
Kelly during “The Megyn Kelly Show” on Monday called out both Democratic Sens. Mark Kelly (Ariz.) and Chris Murphy (Conn.) for huddling with Zelensky prior to the bilateral meeting to derail his agreement with Trump.
“Why? Why would he have handled it this way? Well, perhaps we need look no further than the Democratic senators with whom Mr. Zelensky met before he went to the White House. I mean within the hour,” Kelly said.
Kelly cited Sen. Kelly’s X post bragging that he met with Zelensky prior to the Oval Office meeting to “remind him” that the American people “stand against Russia and with Ukraine.”

Sen. Murphy likewise posted a picture of himself sitting across from Zelensky at the Democratic meeting.
“You see what he did?” Kelly said. “His post accompanied a picture of Zelensky at a conference table with ‘Oh, who’s that across from him? It’s Senator Murphy, who’s right across from him.’ This was within one hour of Zelensky’s White House meeting.”

“The Democrats bashed the two phase deal Trump was arranging of one, a financial agreement, and then, two, a ceasefire deal as, ‘A fake peace agreement with no security arrangements to Mr. Zelensky’ right before he went to the White House. ‘It’s fake. There’s no security arrangements. It’s a business deal. I’m uncomfortable with it. I want assurances.’ I guess, in Chris Murphy’s case, that the people that you’re not going to sign it,” she continued.
The SiriusXM host then explained how the U.S.-Ukraine minerals deal was simply “phase one” of a larger ceasefire agreement between Ukraine and Russia.
“Then he [Zelensky] went to the White House to sign what was clearly phase one. No, it wasn’t the ultimate ceasefire. It wasn’t the security arrangement deal. It was the first part of it, which was the minerals deal,” Kelly said. “Which is the thing that Trump has been saying all along will be, in essence, a form of U.S. security, because if we’re investing hundreds of billions of dollars trying to extract these raw earth materials from Ukraine, his theory is that Vladimir Putin will not mess with Ukraine.”
“He’ll be messing with our interests,” Kelly pointed out. “Then when it comes to boots on the ground, the Europeans are going to speak to that in phase two of this deal,” Kelly said. “But it was shat all over by Chris Murphy and others…The Democrats, now that it devolved to a fight, have reverted to their tried and true accusation that Trump is no more than Putin’s puppet, that this whole thing was an ambush by Trump of Zelensky because he wants to do the bidding of Vladimir Putin.”
Since the disastrous White House meeting, Zelensky changed his tune on Tuesday, admitting to the “regrettable” way the meeting ended, thanking the U.S. and “Trump’s strong leadership,” and saying he’s now willing to sign the rare-earth minerals deal with the U.S.
“Our meeting in Washington, at the White House on Friday, did not go the way it was supposed to be. It is regrettable that it happened this way. It is time to make things right,” he wrote on X.
I would like to reiterate Ukraine’s commitment to peace.

None of us wants an endless war. Ukraine is ready to come to the negotiating table as soon as possible to bring lasting peace closer. Nobody wants peace more than Ukrainians. My team and I stand ready to work under…
“We would like future cooperation and communication to be constructive. Regarding the agreement on minerals and security, Ukraine is ready to sign it in any time and in any convenient format. We see this agreement as a step toward greater security and solid security guarantees, and I truly hope it will work effectively.”
