Comedian Elected President of Ukraine, Exit Polls Show

Ukrainians elected a comedian with no political experience as president Sunday in a damning verdict on their ruling class five years after a violent pro-Western revolution, exit surveys of voters showed.

Volodymyr Zelensky, who plays a school teacher-turned-president in a Ukrainian TV series, trounced incumbent President Petro Poroshenko with about 73% percent of the vote, according to national exit polls shortly after voting ended.

But we elected a clown.

Does it matter? This country (U.S.) has many comedians in political office and they are NOT funny. We even have two Socialists. One older male fart and a young female cry baby. ♀️

maybe he can make that country great again!!!

So American 'intervention' backfired did it? Imagine that.

This should be interesting.

I hate to say the obvious, but we have already elected a comedian with no political experience to the U.S. Presidency.

That should also happen in pakistan a comedian would be better then these goons

How can a comedian to stop a KGB president. Lol.

So did the US except ours isn’t smart enough to be funny.

Same !

Similar to the path America took in 2016

PrehnTed Hi

Unbelievable

Unqualified comedian, unqualified real estate developer. Same thing. At least one has a sense of humor.

on their 'ruling class'? I would have said on their career politicians.

Sounds like the untied states !!

He'll never be funnier than our great leader.

anneapplebaum Welcome to the club!

The US has a clown in office, with no experience. Pretty much the same thing

NY elected a Bartender. How is that any different?

ha ha

As a Russian prepares to cross the Ukrainian border, the border guard asks, “Occupation?” “No,” says the Russian. “Just visiting.”

Idiocracy

Zelinskiy is paid for by the ruthless oligarch Kolimoiskiy and was the beneficiary of an avalanche of favorable propaganda from Russia. Putin will be his new master.

Ukraine has lost its collective mind. This is a very sad day for the country.

Probably because he told the truth and didn’t lie like a politician. We have comedians like that too. Jimmy Dore. Trevor Noah. Dave Chappell.

Well I hope they don’t regret it, like America does for picking criminal racist lying trump.

Ukrainian politics is rough, with lots of powerful forces lurking in background. We hope for end to fighting in Ukraine. transition change UkraineElections Ukraine Russia Soviet nytimes businessinsider Entrepreneur elections war transitions Crimea

Thought this was Pravda or Izvestia.

A comedian with no political experience? Winning an election? That's a first. UkraineElections

Why not? U.S. elected a landlord & tv producer with no political experience. Does he do Putin impesonation?

The only problem with the world today is Left leaning politics and pro growth zero tolerance militant religion , as long as he is neither that country will do just fine ......

MUGA?!

What have we started?

Comedian in the Ukraine and Joe Biden to announce. Hilarity ensuses

Good luck Ukraine. We elected a reality tv star and it has been much better than most people expected.

At leasr the peoples can laugh everyday. Remind me of Zuma and trumph 😁😁😁

So, basically, they are democrats?

Anybody other than a politician will do OK.

Why shouldn’t they have a comedian ? ..... we got one !

Big thumbs up to peoples of ukraine UkraineElections remember midan cudeta ? they got their revenge from EU US UK corrupt politicians

FakeNewsMedia will blame Russia 😂🤣😅

They get it.

And the United States elected a joke ...

Strange and quite stupid choice. I’m very sorry for my country
