Madison Cowthorn

March 2022
North Carolina Republican Representativ Madison Cawthorn recently called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky a "thug" and the Ukrainian government "incredibly evil," criticizing the country and its leader as Russia invades it. Cawthorn's statements were aligned with former President Donald Trump's praise of Russian President Vladimir Putin but in sharp contrast to the United States' broad bipartisan support for Ukraine. Other Republicans immediately condemned his comments.
