Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s visit to Washington, D.C., is being panned by conservatives who are critiquing his choice of wardrobe.
Zelensky was denounced by conservatives on social media for not wearing a suit while visiting with President Joe Biden on Wednesday. Although foreign heads of state typically wear somewhat more formal clothing while visiting the White House, Zelensky donned military fatigues for the visit, as he has done during nearly all of his public appearances since Ukraine’s war with Russia began in February.

The Ukrainian president’s visit to Washington comes as U.S. lawmakers consider a $1.7 trillion omnibus spending bill that includes an additional $45 billion in military aid to Ukraine, which some conservatives oppose. Donald Trump Jr. was among those slamming Zelensky, calling him a “welfare queen” on Wednesday morning. A few hours later, Zelensky’s supposedly “disrespectful” attire was the focus of right-wing discourse.

This ungrateful piece of sh*t does not have the decency to wear a suit to the White House – no respect the country that is funding his survival.

I know there’s a war, but #Zelensky isn’t under fire. He flew to the U.S. aboard a U.S. government private jet, arrived at the White House in a Chauffeur Driven SUV, yet showed up wearing a sweatshirt. It’s better than a t-shirt, but I still maintain the proper attire is a suit.
