So it's OK for Biden to demand a Ukrainian ambassador be fired, but it's an outrage for Trump to fire one of his own employees? This is the logic of the Dim impeachment star chamber and the fake news media.
Ousted Ukraine ambassador was "incredulous" at being removed based on "unfounded and false claims" - CBS News
Former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch defended her tenure as ambassador in testimony before the House committees conducting the impeachment inquiry, telling lawmakers Friday she was "incredulous" the government recalled her "based, as best as I can tell, on unfounded and false claims by people with clearly questionable motives."
According to her prepared remarks, obtained by The Washington Post, Yovanovitch said that although her Ukraine tour was supposed to end in 2020, she was "abruptly told" in late April to return to Washington "'on the next plane.'" She did not know why she was being recalled, and she met with the deputy secretary of state, who told her Mr. Trump "had lost confidence in me and no longer wished me to serve as his ambassador." The secretary also told her there had been "a concerted campaign against" her, and there had been pressure to remove her since 2018.
