Carlson called Zelensky an "uppity foreigner" after watching the clip during which Zelensky delcared how much he would need from the US.
Zelensky has previously said that his country requires $7 billion a month in aid, not including the "hundreds of billions of dollars" he said would be required to rebuild the country after the war, reports BBC News.
"What?" Carlson said incredulously. "Some uppity foreigner in a t-shirt demanding money for his 'critical economic needs.' We have critical economic needs too, buddy. Who are you, troll? Go away. What? Since when does that guy have a claim on our treasury," Carlson asked.
Carlson compared Zelensky's demands to a spoiled child with a Christmas list. "Really? Up yours, buddy," Carlson said.
Carlson has been a vocal critic of pro-war politicians as well as Zelensky, having previously mocked the Ukrainian president after he did a Vogue photoshoot.
