Yahoo News GOP Rep. Cawthorn calls Zelensky ‘a thug,’ says Ukraine is pushing ‘woke ideologies’ Christopher Wilson Christopher Wilson·Senior Writer Thu, March 10, 2022, 1:51 PM EST Rep. Madison Cawthorn, R-N.C., called Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky a "thug" at a campaign event over the weekend.

"Remember that Zelensky is a thug," Cawthorn said in a video obtained by WRAL. "Remember that the Ukrainian government is incredibly corrupt and is incredibly evil and has been pushing woke ideologies."

The 26-year-old Cawthorn’s statement is a deviation from mainstream Republican support of Zelensky and the Ukrainian people as they defend themselves against the Russian invasion, but it echoes other comments made at the impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump.

That'll probably get him canceled by all of the "tolerant" people who hold opposing views...

“Remember that the Ukrainian government is incredibly corrupt and is incredibly evil and has been pushing woke ideologies.”

Just following what his DC/Soros paymasters direct him to do.

Did you forget Hunter Biden’s multi million bonanza from Ukraine?

OK, that’s ONE Republican whose got it right — any others?

Waiting for the inevitable “Cawthorn’s Republican (RINO) primary opponent was, along with the local media, quick to attack Cawthorn for his doubleplus-ungood wrongthink.”

Given the uniform and overwhelming screeching and propaganda from the US media and Fed.gov - its nice to see someone questioning the narrative.

A few people are catching on, but he’s going to catch hell for this.
There are no good guys and our interference is making things worse.
The best thing we can do is pull back, announce that Ukraine will not be allowed into NATO and let Ukraine and Russia hammer out any remaining items on the peace terms.

As much as I feel for the plight of the bulk of the people of Ukraine, I cannot help but agree with this personal assessment of Zelensky.

I'll give Zelensky his credit due for his behavior after being attacked, mostly, but pre-invasion, Zelensky was quite “odd” and not to be trusted.

I don't know about Zelensky, he's only been there since 2019. His predecessors were definitely thugs.

One of Soros' darlings, Mikhail Saakashvili, was installed as the puppet President of Georgia in 2004. After he was ousted, he spent time in the U.S. and eventually the thug Poroshenko made him Governor of Odessa in 2015.

More accurate: Ukraine’s supporters in the EU and the Democratic party are doing their best to draw Ukraine into the woke camp.

One Republican who sides with anti-American globalists and Xi Jinping.

Exactly. There are no good guys in this. This region has always been corrupt.

Poroshenko was a thug. Zelensky is a comedian/actor/lawyer.

Gotta have a score card to keep everything straight these days.

Both sides are among the most corrupt:

We need to stay out of this, Ukraine must stay out of NATO.

First question, if one can put aside what is going on there for a moment.....Is Cawthorn wrong?

The more the world learns about Ukraine the more it seems like it’s nothing more than a State Sponsored Money Laundering clearinghouse.

Doesn’t mean the innocent folks need to be going through what they are or dying, but lets not get all tear-eyed over the country’s leadership.
