The invasion of Ukraine has created a lot of worry and emotions across the globe, but we certainly didn’t think it would inspire Nancy Pelosi to quote U2 frontman Bono on St. Patrick’s Day. The Speaker of the House read a poem written by the singer at the Friends of Ireland luncheon that compared Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky to St. Patrick.
The introduction started OK with Pelosi stating, “I got this message this morning from Bono. Whether we are in Ireland or here, Bono has been a very Irish part of our lives.” And then she launched into an original poem written by him.
Speaker Pelosi reads #StPatricksDay poem by Bono, which reads in part:
"Ireland's sorrow and pain
Is now the Ukraine
And Saint Patrick's name now Zelenskyy."She then introduces Riverdance. pic.twitter.com/NzPY1VP2bN
