Financier and Radio Host Peter Schiff Dressed Down for Criticizing Zelenskyy's Casual Attire

It's like telling Fonzie to ditch the leather jacket, or suggesting Kanye swap his sneakers for shiny dress shoes.

Ukraine president Voldymyr Zelenskyy made a scheduled videoconference appearance before Congress on Wednesday morning (pictured above), dressed in the same practical, come-as-you-are wartime attire he's made utterly iconic since the start of Russia's unprovoked invasion (on this day, a rumpled Army-green t-shirt).

That was the moment that Peter Schiff, outspoken Wall Street whale and radio personality, decided it was time for someone to finally say something about Zelenskyy's slovenly fashion.

Spoiler alert: It didn't go over well.

where he can't send his suits out for dry-cleaning or his shirts for pressing or his shoes for polishing. And it takes extra time to tie a Windsor knot and fasten cufflinks, and he might be a bit busy right now.

Peter Schiff can go fuck himself, or better yet, take shelter in a Ukrainian subway with nothing but the dirty clothes on his back and no dry-cleaners available because they've all been bombed.

You can’t get any more shallow than this. Zelensky has a few more things to worry about than just how he looks.

Schiff needs a lesson in priorities.

Because after all it isn’t what people say that is important. It is that they are held responsible for what they say that appalls the gop.
