Sen. John Cornyn just quoted the Speaker on Ukraine (OLD QUOTE)
Twitter/X ^ | Feb 12 | Sen. John Cornyn

Posted on 02/12/2024 5:51:53 AM PST by RandFan

@JohnCornyn

@SpeakerJohnson is right: “We can’t allow Vladimir Putin to prevail in Ukraine because I don’t believe it would stop there. It would probably encourage and empower China to perhaps make a move on Taiwan."

TOPICS: Chit/Chat; Conspiracy
KEYWORDS:
This had me concerned so I looked it up.

The slimeball is using a quote from Oct 27th '23

Johnson hasn't taken a position yet it seems on this foreign aid package the senators have passed and it looks like they're trying to pressure him.

He's generally skeptical on aid to Ukraine and in that interview said there should be conditions and objectives on any aid which this doesn't have.

Lets see what happens.

It was stupid quote no matter when it was said. Cornyn is cherry picking.

Yes but he did say in that interview aid should not be a giveaway and should have conditions i.e Inspector General (or whatever)

This certainly doesn’t qualify on that front so keep your fingers crossed

RINO globalists cherry pick anything to advance the neocon/globalist agenda. Cornyn is among the slimiest.

Close the border first and deport all the illegals secondly. When the last illegal is gone we can think of other things.

Perfectly logical quote.

Ukraine was undoubtedly attacked because of the way Biden fled from Afghanistan.

Donald Trump never gave an inch to our foreign adversaries. Just the opposite. The democrats are weak and traditionally sided with Russia.

Then sadly the fantasy was created that Joe Biden is some incredible war monger, whereas they really are trying to sell out our allies like Israel and Taiwan.

Also out of context. Johnson said aid should have conditions and not just be a giveaway.

Very revealing from Cornyn. I dont think anyone is buying it

Apparently DC has more senators representing it than just two....

“We can’t allow Vladimir Putin to prevail in Ukraine...”

He already has. Hundreds of thousands of needless deaths supposedly justified by that line.

... we have a verifiable Green Party who ran as an advocate of DC statehood in this forum who pretends to be a conservative.

I’ve yet to figure out how this moron keeps getting re-elected. As a Texan, it’s embarrassing.

Then put forth legislation conscripting the blood relatives of all Non Military Federal Employee's between the age of 17-35, give them 2 weeks training and send them straight to the Front Lines in Ukraine. The war will end overnight.

Cut the lying. We are sick of it. Anyone with a brain who is paying attention knows it too.

You looney Zeepers belong over at a Biden or RINO site. Not here.

I spent last night arguing with people on here who said that red China and Russia should take over the West and that both are better alternatives to the current Western world.

You have nothing of substance to say in your comment to me which is just name calling.

Free Republic is full of people discussing their support for everything Israel is doing and then you come on here and attack me for supporting aid to Israel.

I’ll tell you this if I don’t belong here for opposing red China and supporting aid to Israel and taiwan then this site would be finished because people who are on here saying that Vladimir Putin is a good role model for the West are absolutely insane.
And they are on here saying it clearly and they are nuts.

If I get thrown off for criticizing that I will go proudly.
