This isn't the first time the Trump-endorsed congressional candidate faced scrutiny over past remarks he has made.

In a video clip published on Thursday by local news station WRAL-TV, Cawthorn, a North Carolina Republican, is seen insulting Zelensky, who has received bipartisan praise for leading Ukraine during the Russian invasion that began last month.

"Remember that Zelensky is a thug," he said."Remember that the Ukrainian government is incredibly corrupt and is incredibly evil and has been pushing woke ideologies." Kent, who is challenging fellow GOP Representative Jaime Herrera Beutler, tweeted that Cawthorn"nailed it." "Zelenskyy was installed via a US backed color revaluation, his goal is to move his county west so he virtue signals in woke ideology while using nazi battalions to crush his enemies," he tweeted."He was also smart enough to cut our elite in on the graft."
