Ted Cruz Calls Zelensky a 'Moron', Claims He Is Campaigning For Kamala Harris

Published Sep 26, 2024 at 6:18 AM EDT Updated Sep 27, 2024 at 6:49 AM EDT

The war of words between Republicans and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has intensified, with Ted Cruz calling him a "moron" and accusing him of "campaigning for Kamala Harris."

Cruz and Vice Presidential candidate JD Vance have led the attacks on Zelensky, who is currently on tour in the United States and visited an ammunition factory in Pennsylvania this week with Governor Josh Shapiro, a key ally of Vice President Harris.

House Republicans, angered that no member of their party was invited on the Pennsylvania tour and that Zelensky's flight was paid for by the U.S. taxpayer, have launched an investigation.

House Speaker Mike Johnson has also demanded that Zelensky dismiss the Ukrainian ambassador to the U.S., Oksana Markarova, for facilitating the tour, which he claimed was "clearly a partisan campaign event designed to help Democrats and is clearly election interference.'

"Ukraine's President Zelensky came to Pennsylvania and is essentially campaigning for Kamala Harris and he's attacking Donald Trump and J.D. Vance. It is shocking, I do not ever recall ever seeing a foreign leader do this. It's infuriating," Ted Cruz said during his Verdict podcast on Wednesday.

The latter criticism was referring to a recent New Yorker interview, in which Zelensky questioned former President Trump's understanding of the war in Ukraine and described Vance as "too radical".

In what Cruz called "one of the greatest unforced errors" he had ever seen from a foreign leader, Zelensky said in the New Yorker interview: "My feeling is that Trump doesn't really know how to stop the war even if he might think he knows how."

"With this war, oftentimes, the deeper you look at it the less you understand," he added.

Zelensky is now at the end of his trip, in which he has spoken at the United Nations and presented his "victory plan" for the war to the Biden administration.

Focus on the visit, however, has been directed at the comments made by the foreign leader concerning Donald Trump.

My President (thankfully only for a short while more) is Joe Biden.

My next President will be Donald Trump.

It's certainly a good thing that no Russian attack drones or missiles are hitting Ukraine energy centers again.

Doink.

If Trump is your president, why not start acting like an American? Every cent given to Zelensky and Ukraine is money taken away from Americans who need it. Today Your Biden cut another check to these thieves HERE, this as large parts of LA burns down. Go ahead, make sense of that for me.
