"Well, remember, Zelensky can't even use his own bathroom at 3 am in the middle of the night without getting a permission slip from the US State Department," Benz responded when asked about why the Ukrainian president could be spreading these falsehoods.
Benz explained how Ukraine is barely a functioning country on its own without a legislature, a judiciary, or an overall functioning government. "We hand-picked the prosecutors. We shepherd through all of the national laws. We had our Ukraine Crisis Media Center send Zelensky his first week in office a list of red lines that he is not allowed to cross in terms of his own security policy, his own foreign policy, his own cultural domestic policy, his own media policy, his own energy policy," he stated.
Benz continued that the use of any nuclear arsenal by Ukraine "is going to have to be blessed by the Biden National Security Council, is going to have to be blessed by the State Department."
"In the same way that Kamala Harris can't give a town hall by taking an honest question by somebody else, everything Zelensky says is scripted from effectively the press secretary at Foggy Bottom at the Harry S. Truman Building of the State Department," Benz continued, adding that the regime is most likely putting these words in his mouth.
