Schumer blasts Paul’s delay of $40B Ukraine package as ‘repugnant’

Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Wednesday slammed Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) for delaying a $40 billion Ukraine aid package by one week, calling the move “repugnant” and predicting the legislation will pass the Senate Thursday.

“This should already have been done and over with, but it is repugnant that one member of the other side, the junior senator from Kentucky, chose to make a show and obstruct Ukraine funding,” Schumer said on the Senate floor.

“For Sen. Paul to delay it for purely political motives is to strengthen Putin’s hand,” he added, noting, “the vast majority of Republicans want to see this legislation done.”

Paul objected to passing the legislation last week, insisting that leaders add language to the package to give the Afghanistan inspector general oversight of how humanitarian and military assistance is spent in Ukraine.

Paul said Monday that voters in Kentucky have applauded his effort to slow the $40 billion package.

“I went home and I had a standing ovation from 200 people at a Lincoln Day dinner, who all say, ‘Thank you for holding up this money. We need help at home. We can’t get baby formula. We can’t pour our gas,’” he told reporters.

The Senate voted overwhelmingly Monday afternoon for a procedural motion to advance the package, 81 to 11

What a disgrace Schumer is all Rand asked for was an Inspector General like they did for Afghanistan.

I wonder why he doesn't want one overseeing this giveaway?

‘I wonder why he doesn’t want one overseeing this giveaway? ‘

Maybe they know the end is near and they want to skim as much as they can while they still have a chance?

Anything that inconveniences a Democrat is immoral.

But preventing 5B to secure our border with a wall wasn’t 🤪

You are derelict in your duty and oath and should be ousted

Ukraine is nothing more than America’s money launderer all the politicians flying over to make sure where THEIR SHARE of the money will be going!! Why the objection to Paul’s request for someone to oversee where the funds are going???

I am amazed that Sen. Chuck Schumer has not called for a vote to declare War on Russia. According to Congressman Steny Hoyer, part of the Democrat House Leadership, we are in a war with Russia.
President Joe Biden stated he wants regime change in Russia, and would like Russian President Putin dead.
$40,000,000,000.00 plus to Ukraine may just be the ticket to accomplish Joe Biden’s goals.
Sen. Schumer, and House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi, please schedule a recorded vote declaring War on Russia. Let’s get all members of Congress on the record before the 2022 election. Voters want to be fully informed.

Interesting that the election-stealing thugs here get to demand "regime change" everywhere else.

Maybe Pootie will do some "regime change" demandin' hisownself.

As a body, Congress is the most ignorant entity in the universe when it comes to fiscal sanity. Disgusting…especially Schumer and his ilk.
