Howard Stern on Monday offered a searing critique of Republicans , including former President Donald Trump , who have praised Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Commenting on Russias invasion of Ukraine, the SiriusXM radio host noted his hatred for communism and previous love for Republicans who were pro-capitalist, anti-communist and certainly a staunch defender of free people and free elections.

But, he lamented, that love was no more.

I voted for many Republicans. I dont see how Ill ever get back to that, said Stern. Theyve just totally disappointed me and their support of Vladimir Putin, the praise they heap on him. Trumps praise of Vladimir Putin. This guys a fucking animal. I wish he was dead, like I wish Hitler was dead.

Trump last week continued his yearslong celebration of Putin, hailing Russias invasion of neighboring Ukraine as pretty smart . He also praised Putin as a genius.

Stern later laced into Putin himself, calling him a scumbag who enslaves an entire country and will kill you if you speak out against him.
