During a weekly press conference, House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) condemned Rep. Madison Cawthorn’s (R-N.C.) comments calling Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky “a thug.”

“Remember that Zelensky is a thug,” Cawthorn was seen saying. “Remember that the Ukrainian government is incredibly corrupt and it is incredibly evil and it has been pushing woke ideologies. It really is the new woke world empire.”
