Host Margaret Brennan noted that McConnell's clear support of Ukraine
differed from what some other members of his party have said, pointing
to Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-N.C.), who called Ukrainian President
Volodymyr Zelensky a "thug." Cawthorn's remarks were widely amplified by
Russian state media.
"The vast majority of the Republican Party writ large, both in the
Congress and across the country, are totally behind Ukrainians and
urging the president to ... take these steps quicker, to be bolder. So
there may be a few only voices off the side. I wouldn't pay much
attention to them," he added.
On Friday, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said Cawthorn was "wrong" for calling Zelensky a thug.
"Madison
is wrong. If there's any thug in this world, it's Putin," McCarthy
said, though he acknowledged that he still supported Cawthorn's
reelection.
麦康奈尔说“绝大多数”共和党人“完全 behind”乌克兰 主持人玛格丽特·布伦南（Margaret Brennan）指出，麦康奈尔对乌克兰的明确支持与其党内其他一些成员所说的不同，他指的是众议员麦迪逊·考索恩（共和党北卡罗来纳州），他称乌克兰总统沃拉迪米尔·泽伦斯基为“暴徒”。 考索恩的言论被俄罗斯官方媒体广泛放大。 “绝大多数共和党人，无论是在国会还是在全国范围内，都完全支持乌克兰人，并敦促总统……更快、更大胆地采取这些步骤。所以可能只有少数人发出声音 边。我不会太在意他们，”他补充说。 周五，众议院少数党领袖凯文麦卡锡（R-Calif。）表示，考索恩称泽伦斯基为暴徒是“错误的”。 “麦迪逊错了。如果这个世界上有任何暴徒，那就是普京，”麦卡锡说，尽管他承认他仍然支持考索恩的连任。
