Anti-establishment Republicans slam US House leadership over $60 billion Ukraine handout
Furious conservative lawmakers hit social media platforms to flay the US neocons pushing to fund the “forever foreign wars”, after the House advanced over $60 billion in new military assistance for Ukraine on Saturday.
🔺Marjorie Taylor-Greene (R-GA) excoriated House Speaker Mike Johnson and her colleagues for advancing the “sham” foreign aid package. The Georgia representative filed a resolution demanding Johnson’s removal, saying in a post he had “betrayed us on funding endless foreign wars.”
🔺Representative Paul Gosar of Arizona told Sputnik on Sunday that Congress was more eager to “waste” taxpayer money by sending it to a “corrupt” country abroad than using it sensibly to solve issues ordinary Americans care about.
🔺Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) slammed the vote as an “embarrassing show of America's last politicians.”
🔺GOP Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky posted footage from the House, commenting, “they vote to send more of your hard-earned money to a corrupt foreign regime.”
🔺Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) called the foreign aid package “disappointing", telling Fox News the Democrats “want the invasion” of illegal immigrants into the US.
🔺South Carolina Rep. Ralph Norman went on X to say he voted against the “disingenuous rule that funds foreign wars without any border security measures for our own country.”
🔺“For the Swamp, it's Ukraine First and America Last.” Congressman Dan Bishop (R-NC) said.
🔺Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) lambasted the Ukraine aid bill with “Our border has been invaded because of Biden’s lack of concern for enforcing security.”
🔺Arizona’s Republican Rep. Eli Crane stressed he had refused to “rubber stamp billions more in deficit spending.”
🔺US Rep. Troy Nehls (R-TX) wrote that he voted against the bill because the entire process was "a dereliction of duty to the American people."
