While House Minority Leader–anxious to lose the “minority” tag because Republicans don’t like minorities of any type–Kevin McCarthy has been making the rounds on conservative chat shows claiming that if he should become Speaker after the midterms, no additional aid to the embattled nation of Ukraine will be approved by the House, Senate Minority Leader–who is likely to remain a minority after the midterms–Mitch McConnell said Senate Republicans will ensure the continued supply of American arms to the Ukrainians, Politico reports.
“It is in America’s core national security interest to make it clear that revisionist states such as Russia or China cannot simply gobble up smaller neighbors. The Biden Administration and our allies need to do more to supply the tools Ukraine needs to thwart Russian aggression. It is obvious this must include additional air defenses, long-range fires, and humanitarian and economic support to help this war-torn country endure the coming winter,” McConnell said in a statement while simultaneously whining that the Biden Administration isn’t providing military equipment to Ukraine fast enough.
