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.
麥康奈爾說“絕大多數”共和黨人“完全 behind”烏克蘭 主持人瑪格麗特·布倫南（Margaret Brennan）指出，麥康奈爾對烏克蘭的明確支持與其黨內其他一些成員所說的不同，他指的是眾議員麥迪遜·考索恩（共和黨北卡羅來納州），他稱烏克蘭總統沃拉迪米爾·澤倫斯基為“暴徒”。 考索恩的言論被俄羅斯官方媒體廣泛放大。 “絕大多數共和黨人，無論是在國會還是在全國範圍內，都完全支持烏克蘭人，並敦促總統……更快、更大膽地採取這些步驟。所以可能只有少數人發出聲音 邊。我不會太在意他們，”他補充說。 周五，眾議院少數黨領袖凱文麥卡錫（R-Calif。）表示，考索恩稱澤倫斯基為暴徒是“錯誤的”。 “麥迪遜錯了。如果這個世界上有任何暴徒，那就是普京，”麥卡錫說，儘管他承認他仍然支持考索恩的連任。
