Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz has been mocked for saying that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was engaged in political “theatre” because he wore a “sweatshirt and fatigues” during President Joe Biden’s visit to Kyiv.
The Recount noted that during a 2021 visit to the US-Mexico border in Mission, Texas, Mr Cruz himself chose to forego the usual suit and tie.
Mr Cruz was speaking on his podcast Verdict with Ted Cruz when he argued that Mr Biden’s entire visit to Ukraine on 20 February was a stunt and he claimed that the air sirens heard during Mr Biden’s appearance were fake.
Speaking of video footage showing Mr Biden and Mr Zelensky walking in Kyiv, Mr Cruz said, “the video should have ended with ‘I’m Joe Biden and I approve this message’ because it was a TV ad”.
