McConnell on Republicans supporting Putin: 'There's some lonely voices out there'
The Hill via Yahoo ^ | March 20th, 2022 | Unattributed

Posted on 03/20/2022 3:30:30 PM PDT by Mariner

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Sunday called Republicans who support Russian President Vladimir Putin "lonely voices" within the GOP.

Appearing on CBS's "Face the Nation," McConnell called for further direct assistance to be given to Ukraine, including weapons systems. He also called for a change in attitude, saying the U.S. should approach the situation with the belief that Ukraine could win the conflict, considering how long it has fended off a Russian takeover.

Host Margaret Brennan noted that McConnell's clear support of Ukraine differed from what some other members of his party have said, pointing to Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-N.C.), who called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky a "thug." Cawthorn's remarks were widely amplified by Russian state media.

"Well, there's some lonely voices out there that are in a different place," McConnell said. "But looking at Senate Republicans, I can tell you that I would have, had I been the majority leader, put this Ukraine supplemental up by itself. I think virtually every one of my members would have voted for it."

This is the same tired BS espoused by the most radical neocons. If you do not support the military elevation of Ukraine, and the destruction of Russia, you are a "Putinista".

Neutrality or a recognition that Russia has legitimate strategic interests means you support Putin the murderous Hitler clone.

Dare not be opposed to "direct military assistance to Ukraine" or it'll surely put you on a list.

I hate this toilet scum.

Madison Cawthorn (R-N.C.), who called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky a “thug.” Cawthorn’s remarks were widely amplified by Russian state media.

How would we verify this “amplification” as Big Tech has cut off all access to any media from Russia?

It’s hard to imaging the level of criminal activity that went on in the Ukraine. Every entrenched DC Rat is fighting as if they were cornered, and they probably are. I pray for the truth to come out and expose these people.

I am fully in support of securing OUR borders and protecting our Republic, first and foremost.

The border security of any and all other countries is not our problem, nor should it be.

I would tell the Post Turtle: “You are either with us or you are against us” to borrow a phrase from an original Post Turtle.

We all know Putin is a gangster. But not falling for every ounce of the propaganda of the DeeCee warmongers does NOT mean supporting Putin. Media and DeeCee War Party demand total obedience to one narrative... THEIRS. Or you’re a “Russian agent”. Volodymyr Zelenskyy went overnight from thug to Winston Churchill, but he might still be also a thug. We have many thugs in our own government, Biden chief among ‘em!

McConnel supports Putin just fine. He’s team ChiCom.

He is a weasel.

It’s funny people believe anything he says.

ABSOLUTELY NO ONE is pro-Putin. It is disgusting how our media and others can distort someone’s view. If someone is not 1000% behind engaging in war with Russia, they are somehow Putin enablers. Unbelievable.

Russia does not have the right to invade Ukraine. Period. How can someone be neutral on that.

McConnell is every bit as bad as Biden, just less powerful.

Zelensky went through Klaus’ New World (rder achool, like Trudeau. He’s the hand selected puppet of globalism.

Just because you don’t support him, doesn’t mean you’re in love with Putin, for God’s sake, Mitch.

Not a fan of either. Stay Out!!!

I agree that Russia had no right to invade.

Did we have the right to bomb Serbia and Libya?
Sometimes nations act in their interests in violation of others rights.
Not condoning, it’s just the way it is.

They are indeed ‘toilet scum’ - did they think the same when US has gone to war? Of course we’re somehow always justified for doing so but no other countris are.

We should have never been involved with regime changes in other countries. Now it’s Russia’s trun for regime change in their eyes.
