Zelensky hit by false claim about 'Nazi T-shirt' after US Congress meeting

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

"After too many jokes, Zelensky accidentally wears a shirt with a Nazi symbol like Hitler," reads a Thai-language Facebook post from March 17.

It shows a photo of Zelensky, a TV comedian turned wartime leader, wearing a T-shirt with a cross symbol during a virtual address he gave to US Congress on March 16, in which he made a plea for help against the Russian invasion.

A second photo shows Adolf Hitler wearing a shirt with a similar emblem.

The symbol on Zelensky's T-shirt corresponds to the symbol for Ukraine's armed forces, as seen on its official website

1. Unsurprising.

There is never a shortage of those who look to make "the Jew" the real villain of the story. It doesn't matter the story, the situation, or the events surrounding the previously mentioned, there will always...ALWAYS...be a "Jew angle"! ALWAYS!

Germany also has the "Iron Cross" from Prussia... and it predates the Nazi party.

4. I've always thought the cross was called the Maltese cross.

6. The Maltese Cross traditionally looks a little different

however there are references to the "Maltese Iron Cross" which looks exactly like the Prussian Army decoration.
