Senator Ted Cruz

Number one, the United States has given hundreds of billions of dollars to Zelensky. Let's be clear, not millions. You said it. Billions. With a B. And 50% he said they can't find. Zelensky's attitude was, why the hell haven't you given us more? And we're entitled to every bit of it. Here, I want to play the first clip.

They don't do it that way. There are meetings where world leaders disagree, and disagree sometimes with a great deal of candor. 100% of the times, the TV cameras are turned off. Behind closed doors, world leaders can have very frank discussions, and I have been in on many of those discussions with President Trump and world leaders.

But when the TV camera turns on, Zelensky's putting on a show, and you heard him say, you know, I have much respect. You're wearing a sweatshirt, for Pete's sakes. It's the Oval Office of the White House, the Office of the President of the United States. Put on a frigging jacket and tie.

I mean, it's obnoxious. And he's acting like a performance artist. He used to be a comedic actor. Yeah. And his costume is the sweatshirt. Look, he came and addressed a joint session of Congress a few years ago. He stood on the dais of the House of Representatives. I was there for those remarks. He wore the same damn sweatshirt.

I will say at the time, there was a fairly amusing meme that went around. I remember. That it was Zelensky trying to explain what happened. He said, I'd planned to wear a suit and tie, but then an official from the Biden administration stole my luggage.
