Republican Ohio Senator J.D. Vance has been mocked as a "Bad Santa" and compared to Russian President Vladimir Putin in an editorial cartoon published by a news outlet in his home state.
Vance, who has opposed sending more aid to Ukraine as its war with invading Russian forces continues, reportedly walked out early from a Washington, D.C., meeting in which Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky attempted to convince GOP senators to back more aid on Tuesday morning.
Political cartoonist Jeff Darcy made light of the incident in a cartoon published by Cleveland.com on Wednesday. The image shows Vance dressed as Santa Claus with a "Trump/Vance 2024" button as Zelensky, depicted as an elf, is shown sitting on his knee while carrying a wish list of "Putin-free Ukraine, U.S. aid" and "peace on earth."

..."Newsweek reached out for comment to Vance's office via email on Thursday.
Vance has been floated as a potential running mate to former President Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election. The Hillbilly Elegy author was once highly critical of the former president, at one point expressing concerns that he could be "America's Hitler" before the 2016 election.
Since launching his political career, Vance has become one of Trump's staunchest GOP Senate allies. He has also become one of the leading Republican voices opposing continued U.S. aid for Ukraine while suggesting this week that Ukraine should relinquish some of its territory to Russia to end the war."...
