Possible US presidential candidate Ramaswamy called Zelenskyy "Nazi". His headquarters is justified
One of the possible US presidential candidates from the Republican Party, Vivek Ramaswamy, called President Volodymyr Zelenskyy a "Nazi". Now his headquarters say that the politician "had something else in mind."
This was reported by Censor.NET with reference to The New York Times.
Ramaswamy made critical statements about Ukraine and its leadership during the debate. In particular, he said that our country "is not a model of democracy."
"They are threatening not to hold elections this year unless the U.S. allocates more money. This is undemocratic. And they also glorify a Nazi in their ranks - a comedian in cargo pants, a man named Zelenskyy - this is not democratic," Ramaswamy said.
The politician's statement caused a flurry of criticism on the network. Users are outraged, emphasizing that Zelenskyy is of Jewish origin, and his relatives died during the Holocaust.
Ramaswamy's press secretary Trisha McLaughlin later said that he did not call Zelenskyy a Nazi, but was referring to the visit of the head of state to the Canadian parliament in September, where 98-year-old Ukrainian Yaroslav Hunka, who fought in the SS Galicia division, was invited.
"He spoke fast and his words were uneven," she admitted.
Recall that in September, a scandal broke out in Canada because of the applause in parliament for the Ukrainian veteran of the SS division "Galicia" 98-year-old Yaroslav Hunko.
During the standing ovation, Canadian lawmakers applauded, and Zelenskyy raised his fist in affirmation. The Speaker of the House of Commons of Canada, Anthony Rota, called him "a Ukrainian and Canadian hero, and we thank him for all his service."
Anthony Rota apologized on September 25 for inviting a man who fought on the side of a Nazi military unit during World War II to a parliamentary session.
On September 27, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also apologized on behalf of the parliament for inviting Yaroslav Hunko, a veteran of the SS Galicia Division, to Volodymyr Zelenskyy's speech.
