Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) slammed Russian President Vladimir Putin as a “cancer” not long after President Trump stepped up his criticism of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky amid the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war.
“Look, I’m a Republican, I support President Trump, and I believe that most of his policies on national security are right. I believe his instincts are pretty good,” Tillis said Thursday on the Senate floor while warning of global turmoil.
“But what I’m telling you: Whoever believes that there is any space for Vladimir Putin in the future of a stable globe better go to Ukraine. They better go to Europe; they better invest the time to understand that this man is a cancer and the greatest threat to democracy in my lifetime,” he added.

Tillis doesn’t get it.
I voted for him under protest.
How about Xi?
How about the Saudis?
How about Zelensky (who hasn’t won a vote in 6 years)?
Is there a democratic future where any of them are global leaders? Should we be planning a regime change war for any of them?
How about we try peace for once?
Anyone claiming a ‘greatest threat to democracy’ at this point, needs to be quarentined.

But...but...but... I thought we MAGAs were “the greatest threat to the RATS’ demockrazy!
These old timers, whose time should have expired years ago,
are permanently stuck in the cold war 80's.
Putin AND Zelensky are BOTH evil.
Yeah, you know what? Russia has been a world power for 500 years. And Putin will be head of the country till he’s dead. There’s nothing we can do about him.
What a sellout/compromised arse!
Starmer or Putin? Which one you rather take a chance with?
Tillis gets something—maybe USAID or other Deep State payments?
By any measure, Putin is a hero in Russia.
the country was at its post-communism nadir. He came to power, suppressed government corruption, made government responsible, suppressed the politicized oligarchs robbing the country blind, slowed national suicide by alcohol and abortion, promoted national unity and the Orthodox Church as a unifying civil society organization, stabilized the economy, and dealt with chaos on Russia’s borders. He’s also dealt with non-stop attempts from foreign powers to propagandize Russia. Now he’s nearly won the biggest war Russia’s been involved with in the last 75 years.
When he’s dead, they’ll bury Lenin and put Putin’s corpse on display instead.
Many here believe it’s not in the USA’s interests to have a strong Russia. The Eurocrats in Brussels certainly believe this.
Whine all you want, zeepers. Putin is no saint, but its time to face REALITY about Russia.
Tillis must get money from somewhere to talk that excrement.
How about we try peace for once?
He’s right.
Say it three times, and click the heels of your ruby slippers together. Maybe it will become true!
You NAILED it — low IQ parrots, who never learned a new phrase. There are baker's dozen of these dinosaurs left in the Senate. They are part of the dinosaur Romney/Pence/McConnell dinosaur wing. Tillis is another toe tapper with the white brogue wingtips. Member of the local Chamber of car dealers and slum lords. They are beef fed and smelling of scotch and urine.
