30 House Democrats sent a letter to Biden urging him to seek peace talks to end the conflict in Ukraine. Less than 24 hours later, they retracted it under pressure. The letter, which called for the most basic diplomacy to avoid nuclear war, was met with extreme backlash and condemnation by their fellow Democrats.
Medea Benjamin, co-founder of @codepinkaction, explains the current political climate and how the war hawks in Congress seek to crush any opposition.
