Joe Kent, a Trump-endorsed congressional candidate from Washington state, on Saturday backed up remarks from Representative Madison Cawthorn, who called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky a "thug."
In a video clip published on Thursday by local news station WRAL-TV, Cawthorn, a North Carolina Republican, is seen insulting Zelensky, who has received bipartisan praise for leading Ukraine during the Russian invasion that began last month.
"Remember that Zelensky is a thug," he said. "Remember that the Ukrainian government is incredibly corrupt and is incredibly evil and has been pushing woke ideologies."
Kent, who is challenging GOP Representative Jaime Herrera Beutler, tweeted on Saturday that Cawthorn "nailed it."
Just because Putin is evil and conducting an evil war doesn't make his target righteous.
ReplyDeleteZelensky, don't forget, is an actor and as such he is very skilled at manipulating people. He's a man whose Jewishness was utterly irrelevant to him, who made alliances with neo-Nazis, he enabled corruption in Ukraine until it got into the top 10 most corrupt countries in the world, until he thought Israel could help him out and now he's the broken-hearted Jew who can't believe his people in Israel are not rushing to help him.
