The GOP's Putin Wing: Cawthorn is a Cadet; Trump is Commander


Freshman North Carolina GOP Congressman Madison Cawthorn saw fit to call Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy "a thug." During a speech last weekend, the 26-year old stated:
Remember that Zelenskyy is a thug. Remember that the Ukrainian government is incredibly corrupt and is incredibly evil and has been pushing woke ideologies.

I'm not sure what acts of evil Cawthorn thinks Zelenskyy and his government are inflicting upon the world in comparison to the Ukrainian civilians wantonly killed by Vladimir Putin's regime.  Mind you, this a man who thinks boys ought to be raised as monsters and has claimed there will be "bloodshed" should another election be "stolen." Well, at least we know where he sits.

Cawthorn's remark are intended for an audience of one - defeated former President Donald Trump for Cawthorn is a cadet while Trump is the commander of the Putin wing of the GOP. There may be Republican Senators who don't care for Trump's praise of Putin, but Trump's is the only voice that matters in the GOP. As such those same Republican Senators will gladly endorse Trump in 2024 because they somehow have convinced themselves that President Biden is a greater threat to the country. Last I checked, it is Trump who is a quisling of Putin.

As for Cawthorn, he is a reprehensible fellow. But that very quality is an asset in Trump World. So long as Trump's voice is the only one that matters to Republicans, the more reprehensible Cawthorn is the greater the standing he will have in the GOP.
