Madison Cawthorn Calls Ukrainian President Zelenskyy A 'Thug'

Rep. Madison Cawthron (R-N.C.) broke from his party’s support for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and told supporters the embattled leader is a “thug,” newly released footage of the remarks shows.

“Remember that Zelenskyy is a thug,” Cawthorn, 26, says in the clip obtained by North Carolina TV station WRAL on Thursday. “Remember that the Ukrainian government is incredibly corrupt and is incredibly evil and has been pushing woke ideologies.”

Cawthorn, who is running for reelection in November’s election, made the comments while speaking with supporters in Asheville over the weekend, according to commentary in The Wall Street Journal by Karl Rove, who served as former President George W. Bush’s deputy chief of staff.

The extremist lawmaker said on Twitter after the video of his comments surfaced that he believes Russian President Vladimir Putin’s actions are disgusting. Still, he took another dig at the Ukrainian president, saying he “should NOT push misinformation on America.”

The last thing Republicans want are people who have woke up to the lies they tell.

Hey Maddy, I know you like people who are caught up in the Republican "dream", but being awake is the natural state for people who are getting on with their lives.
It's not about being woke, is it? It's about not realizing how horrible the Republicans are.
So Maddy says roll over and go back to sleep America, while Republicans sing their lullaby of fear, anger, hatred, and violence.
Hey Maddy, FU!
