Senator Ted Cruz

I mean, behind closed doors on global TV.

So, look, I think the problem is Zelensky has been surrounded by an echo chamber of left-wing Democrats. He's been palling around with Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi. He's been palling around with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. He's been palling around with The New York Times.

And he's become—this is a guy who appears in Vanity Fair, appears in People magazine, and he's become a leftist cause du jour. And he made, I think, the stupid assessment of, gosh, all the people I hang around with, they hate Donald Trump. They think Donald Trump is an idiot. So I should go in and treat Donald Trump like he's an idiot.

And it was I think he felt I think Zelensky went into the Oval performing for The New York Times and believing that the world be like, oh, Zelensky stands up and puts Trump in his place. Ha ha ha. And it was truly absurd. It backfired completely.

And by the way, this is the same political idiocy that led Zelensky last fall to go and effectively do a campaign event with Kamala Harris in Pennsylvania and to come to the United States in the middle of the presidential campaign, to come to the United States and do a New York Times interview attacking Donald Trump a month out from the election. And you and I did a whole pot at the time.

What the hell is wrong with this guy? Is he just an idiot? Look, I don't know who's going to win the race. Both you and I thought Trump was going to win, but nobody knew for sure. At a minimum, Zelensky knew there was some real possibility that Trump was going to be the president. Did he think it made sense? Like what foreign leader comes?

By the way, I wouldn't have advocated Zelensky should come campaign for Trump either. He's the president of Ukraine. He ought to be focused on Ukraine and stay the hell out of our elections like like it was an idiotic idea.

Look, he thinks he's George Washington, he thinks he's Winston Churchill, he thinks he is larger than life, and everyone around him, and particularly Donald Trump, are just beneath him. And that arrogance and condescension
