GOP Rep. Cawthorn calls Zelensky ‘a thug,’ says Ukraine is pushing ‘woke ideologies’
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.



Wow . . . . woke ideologies🤦‍♂️
why? if this is true why do this stuff right now?

You beat me to it.

All I can say is - Putin thanks you, M. Cawthorn.

so long are the days of a good idea is a good idea and we are waist-deep in the days of them vs them and say anything you want as long as it makes the nutters happy

who cares about facts, medical science or the everyday NOMRAL people right left and center who basically get along

The Republican Party is no longer a rational normal party. It’s is a party that embraces fringe ideas, conspiracy theories and policies that ensure they grab and retain power.

But let Mr. Crawthorn run on the Russian talking point, “Zelinskyy is a thug,” when most Americans admire Zelinskyy.

Wasn’t Crawthorn the guy at CPAC who praised Putin to claps?

He is in a deep red district, so unless he gets primaried out, he'll stay in the house.

He's just trying to divert attention away from his arrest warrants. Guess it's working.

Could be.. for now. However, just wait till the primary season gets closer.

Items on the local level will be pushed by his primary opponents

Dude takes a boat into Russia, agrees to go to a "Crossfit challenge" despite being in a wheelchair, meets a woman, marries her and then divorces her all inside of a year, and now suddenly is taking Russia's side when they are obviously in the wrong.

HMMMMMMM

Well, maybe not. There are lots of registered Republicans that are embarrassed by the looney fringe and could vote for a moderate Dem instead of a bonkers Republican.

Zelensky has imprisoned political opponents and shut down critical media. Zelensky is not a democrat -- he wants those who publicly argue against him to then be put in jail.
That's not right.

The fact that so-called "liberals" here on the forum are glossing over Zelensky's terrible track record on this shows that they're not really liberal at all.
So-called "liberals" are just pretenders who have hijacked a word to appropriate it for themselves, and meanwhile their beliefs and priorities are exactly the opposite of what they pretend to be.

Well ignoring those unreliable sources - is Zelensky a thug? Is Ukraine pushing woke ideologies? Those would be questions worth answering.
