While nearly all of the Western press covered Zelensky’s visit to DC with extreme reverence, the host of America’s top-rated cable news program ruthlessly mocked American politicians for their obsequiousness. towards the “foreign dictator”.
“Almost everyone in the room clapped like a seal,” Carlson told viewers of his nightly show Thursday. “So whatever happens [Zelensky] said – Send me more money; I command you, send me more money; we deal with it in the most responsible way – they applaud, all of them.
“Almost like they should,” he added.
The nearly identical response from the vast majority of the American political class indicates that the supposedly “bitter” public disagreements between Democrats and Republicans are mostly for show, Carlson suggests.
“Now there are 435 members in the House of Representatives, and they are Republicans and Democrats. And it is well known, they do not get along. They don’t agree on anything,” Carlson said. But “when a foreign leader shows up in cargo pants to tell them lies and give them orders, they all cheer.”
“Oooh, yeah, good point,” the Fox News host laughed in his monologue, ridiculing the enthusiastic response from America’s political elites. “Good point, sir! Oooh, we’re so glad you’re here! Throw your foreign flag on the stage and we’ll cheer more!
“That’s honestly what it looked like last night: you have to clap, you could get in trouble if you don’t clap, so everyone claps – all the time,” Carlson added. “Applause is mandatory as long as Zelensky is talking!”
To be fair, “there were a few who didn’t obey,” including reps Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and Lauren Boebert (R-CO), the host explained. And “they found out the hard way what happens to people who don’t dare to clap,” he said.
Within hours, Gaetz and Boebert were attacked by corporate journalists and political celebrities, who accused them of disloyalty and secretly harboring an admiration for Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Liberal historian-turned-pundit Michael Beschloss led the charge against the Reps, posing the question of the conspiracy in front of an MSNBC audience:
“Do you like Putin or are you just opposed to democracy or is there something else?”
How many members of Congress refused to attend tonight’s speech because they don’t support Zelensky’s Ukraine? Important to know and why.

“Ooh, thoughtcrime alert,” Carlson scoffed in response. “You have been reported as not clapping – explain yourself, plebs!”
“Michael Beschloss has the right to know why you feel the way you do: do you like Putin!?
“Why wouldn’t you applaud a man who banned a Christian denomination, a man who arrested priests, raided monasteries, seized churches, banned opposition media, banned political parties that oppose him, threw his main political opponent in prison,” Carlson asked.
“What they are describing is the opposite of democracy,” he noted. “There is no democracy in Ukraine, obviously.”
There’s probably a reason for all the “hysteria” surrounding “two people who didn’t cheer for a foreign dictator,” Carlson concluded. It is possible that the “whole edifice” surrounding NATO’s proxy war in Ukraine “crashes if they allow one person to ask a reasonable question”, he said.
