NBC historian hammered for demanding legislators who didn't applaud Zelenskyy be questioned: 'Soviet tactics'
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy delivered an address to Congress Wednesday

Conservatives on Twitter hammered NBC News presidential historian Michael Beschloss for a "Soviet"-sounding tweet demanding to know who exactly did not clap for Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during his address to Congress on Wednesday.
Zelenskyy traveled to the U.S. on Wednesday, his first trip outside of Ukraine since Russia invaded the country in early 2022. During his trip abroad, Zelensky met with President Joe Biden and addressed a joint session of Congress, seeking continued support U.S. and funding of the war with Russia.
Most members of Congress supported Zelenskyy’s message as he was given a standing ovation for his speech. Although Beschloss seemed very curious about who in Congress may not have been enthusiastic enough about the speech or providing further support for the eastern European leader.

He followed up by asking, "How many Members of Congress refused to attend tonight's speech because they do not support Zelenskyy's Ukraine? Important to know this and why."
Twitter users wondered why Beschloss was so intent on knowing such things. One user blasted Beschloss, claiming he was leaning into "his love for Soviet" totalitarian tactics.
