This guy's responses to people mad he asked why Zelensky wasn't wearing a suit are... kinda wholesome, actually. Tbf I think ppl are mad at him not for their stated reasons, but because they are signalling support/defense for a hero figure.

I think the room is very biased. Also, the room is full of people over-reacting to my comment. Many have suggested that I be put to death for my tweet. So should I read the room and kill myself?

I stan Zelensky too and he coulda shown up naked for all I care, to be clear, but also I think Peter's tweet was more innocent than people are taking it.

He has a lot of silly tweets that seem to be just for engagement.

The world would be a lot nicer if the first person to see a bad tweet just responds "ratio" and then everyone can go like that response instead of endless dunking.

I usually don't like the word, but here I'd say "privileged" actually suits the best. Also, he missed the point of Zelenskiy's clothes in this times - it's not just t-shirt, it's current military wardrobe of Ukrainian army. And that is the message too

Wait -- was he just being a terrible comedian?

Do mean someone on Twitter is overreacting?? Say it ain’t so!! 😝

Politics is theatre. Showing up in a suit'd be too on the nose that he spent time preparing (obviously, he read a whole speech), rather than on the ground fighting. Of course he doesn't spend all his time shooting at ruskis but I think the break from decorum wasn't inappropriate.
