Huff Post quotes Jacob Neiheisel in an article about Ukrainian President Zelenskyy’s attire during a recent White House meeting. “Republicans didn’t seem to have that much of an issue with Elon Musk’s attire just a couple of weeks ago,” Neiheisel said (Musk notably wore a T-shirt and cap to his bizarre joint Oval Office press conference with Trump last month. “Objections to Zelenskyy’s clothing choices are likely just an excuse to take umbrage and cloak what the administration was going to do anyways (cut off aid to Ukraine) in the veneer of moral outrage about Ukraine not being sufficiently respectful,” Neiheisel said.
