Russian State TV Loves Madison Cawthorn, Keeps Airing His Clips Over and Over

Russian state TV is airing a clip of Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC) calling Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky a “thug” on repeat.

Amid individual tragedies and fears of a larger war across eastern Europe, Zelensky has become an international hero. Four weeks ago, the former actor was a relative unknown in the United States. Zelensky is currently hunkered down as his country faces the brutality of Russia’s military offensive.

His forces have thus far repelled Vladimir Putin’s troops to hold Kyiv. He has reached out to NATO and asked for help in stopping Russian forces.

Cawthorn slammed Zelensky a week ago in a video that went viral online. He called him a “thug” whose government is consumed with wokeness and corruption.

“Remember that Zelensky is a thug,” Cawthorn told reporters. “Remember that the Ukrainian government is incredibly corrupt and is incredibly evil and has been pushing woke ideologies.”

That the enemy uses their words as propaganda. They hate freedom, democracy and their country just that much.

MTG, Cawthorn, Tulsi, Don Jr and the rest of the spawn, etc can live with their Dear Leader in Russia. We certainly do NOT want them here.
