WATCH: Madison Cawthorn Says Ukrainian Government Is “Evil” For “Pushing Woke Ideologies”

There hasn’t been much in the past several years that’s gotten bipartisan agreement in the United States, but one thing that isn’t being affected much by party lines is the view on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. While a few Republicans (including one particularly prominent one — the former President) and right-wing media personalities have said things praising Vladimir Putin, the overwhelming majority is speaking in support of Ukraine, and agrees on putting an end to the atrocities taking place there.

In fact, globally, there’s agreement to place sanctions on Russia and Putin, in an effort to force him to draw back and let Ukraine live in peace, and widespread agreement that Putin should be tried for war crimes.
The outlier? Representative Madison Cawthorn, of North Carolina. In the clip below, you can see him expressing the exact opposite view, spouting the Russian propaganda that Ukraine’s government is “evil,” and complaining that the country is “promoting woke ideologies.”
“Zelenskyy is a thug. Remember that the Ukrainian government is incredibly corrupt and is incredibly evil and has been pushing woke ideologies.”
