Η ομιλία του πρωθυπουργού στην καρδιά της αμερικανικής Δημοκρατίας, προκάλεσε τα διθυραμβικά σχόλια των Γερουσιαστών, οι οποίοι συγκλόνισαν χειροκροτώντας όρθιοι τον Κυριάκο Μητσοτάκη
Η ιστορική ομιλία του Έλληνα πρωθυπουργού στο Αμερικανικό Κογκρέσο εκτός από την ιδιαίτερα βαρύνουσα σημασία της για τις ελληνοαμερικανικές σχέσεις, προκάλεσε τα διθυραμβικά σχόλια του ίδιου του αμερικανικού πολιτικού συστήματος όπως διαπιστώνεται από τα tweets των Αμερικανών Γερουσιαστών, τόσο κατά τη διάρκεια της ομιλίας του Κυριάκου Μητσοτάκη, όσο και μετά.
Μάλιστα πολλοί ήταν εκείνοι, που έσπευσαν εκτός από το να συγχαρούν τον πρωθυπουργό, να φωτογραφηθούν μαζί του, αλλά και με την οικογένειά του, που βρισκόταν στο πλευρό του στην ιστορική αυτή στιγμή.
Η αρχή έγινε από την Πρόεδρο της Βουλής των Αντιπροσώπων, η οποία και απήυθυνε την πρόσκληση στον Έλληνα πρωθυπουργό. Η Νάνσι Πελόζι εκφράστηκε με ιδιαίτερα συγκινισιακά φορτισμένα λόγια για την παρουσία του κ.Μητσοτάκη στο Αμερικανικό Κογκρέσο, αλλά και για τις δημοκρατικές καταβολές των δύο εθνών.

Πλήθος γερουσιαστών, πολλοί από τους οποίους ομογενείς, παιδιά Ελλήνων μεταναστών, που δεν ξεχνούν τους δεσμούς τους με την Ελλάδα, σε αναρτήσεις, τις οποίες συνοδεύαν από φωτογραφίες με τον Κυριάκο Μητσοτάκη, αντέστρεφαν τους ρόλους και δήλωναν ιδιαίτερη τιμή για την παρουσία του Έλληνα πρωθυπουργού στο αμερικανικό Κογκρέσο.
