Posts: Mike Lee laments passing of Foreign Aid bill
Twitter/X ^ | April 23 | Sen. Mike Lee

As @RonPaul says, foreign aid often involves taking money from poor people in rich countries to give to rich people in poor countries.

I’m sure Americans will sleep better tonight knowing that a few rich people in Ukraine are about to get a lot richer.

@BasedMikeLee

It doesn’t end well for any political party whose elected officials repeatedly display contempt for the party’s most faithful voters.

@BasedMikeLee

Dems fight for their base, not against it.

@BasedMikeLee

They think they’re Churchill.

They’re congratulating themselves for spending money that doesn’t belong to them—money we don’t have and will have to borrow and print.

Spending other people’s money to fight someone else’s war—against their will—isn’t heroic.

It’s cowardice.

@BasedMikeLee

Senate GOP leadership should never, ever whip Senate Republicans on a bill that unifies the Senate Democrat majority—especially where the bill didn’t have the support of a majority of the House GOP.

That’s tantamount to whipping the GOP conference to support a Democrat bill, and it should be disqualifying.

Future leaders should keep this in mind.

@BasedMikeLee

Americans are about to be made nearly $100 billion poorer.

Not to secure our own borders.

But to secure the borders of other countries.

Republicans—spurred by Republican leadership in both chambers—gladly advanced the Democrats’ agenda.

Neglecting our own.

This is shameful.

I don’t understand why every bit of it has to be a lie.

What rich people are about to get richer from US aid? Name them? Or is this moron going to cite fake articles about the latest Zelenskyy manson?

And most faithful voters? New polls have majority of Americans supporting Ukraine, especially in battleground states. Not even Trump is going to run on anti-Ukraine.

Then money we don’t have? Bitch, we spend more researching the gender of hamsters. I think we can afford fighting the Orcs and Goblins of Russia who hate America and even their useful idiots like Lee.

” ...is this moron going to cite fake articles about the latest Zelenskyy manson?”

Same breath:

” ...we spend more researching the gender of hamsters.”
