The competition is ongoing, and other contenders are still rolling in. Speaking of dumb guys, Kirk may not hold the crown for worst Ukraine take for long. And he knows what he’s doing - and to whom he’s pandering - when he uses the day of a Russian invasion to play a game of “what about China?” But the timing here is key: Cruz is talking up China’s threat and talking down Putin’s within hours of Russia launching a full-scale assault on Ukraine - and at a time when many in his party are preaching apathy about it.Ĭruz isn’t a dumb guy, he just plays one on television.

It takes real trolling talent to best Ted Cruz when it comes to bad Ukraine takes, but somehow right-wing flame-and-feces thrower Charlie Kirk managed to accomplish just that during his speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference.įrom the CPAC stage, Kirk urged his fellow speakers “to call what’s happening on the southern border an invasion,” rather than showing concern about Ukraine, where Russian President Vladimir Putin has been raining down missiles on major cities as Ukraine’s citizens worry about what the future holds - and if they’ll survive to see it.
