Volodymyr Zelensky's visit to the White House and Congress drew the ire of Fox News host Tucker Carlson who repeatedly criticized how the war-time Ukrainian president was dressed.

Speaking on his show on Wednesday night, Carlson said that Zelensky looked like a "strip club manager" and should have been thrown out of Congress.

He added that it was a "humiliating scenario" for the U.S. to be giving money to Ukraine while its own economy struggles.

Some defended the Ukrainian president's appearance. Murtaza Hussain, reporter at The Intercept, tweeted: "If Zelensky had worn a suit and tie the same people upset about his fatigues would've been calling him an out of touch charlatan. Just ignore the vacuous commentary."

Shadi Hamid, author and a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, tweeted: "Serious question: Why exactly should Zelensky be wearing a suit? He doesn't wear a suit in Ukraine, so it's unclear why he would wear one in the U.S."
