House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy expressed skepticism about sending more aid to Ukraine if Republicans take back the House in the upcoming midterm elections.
"I think people are gonna be sitting in a recession and they're not going to write a blank check to Ukraine," the California Republican told Punchbowl News in a report published Tuesday.
"They just won't do it," he continued. "It's not a free blank check."
While "Ukraine is important," GOP concerns about the border and other domestic policies also carry weight, McCarthy added.
The comments signal that bipartisan support for funding to Ukraine against Russia's invasion could be waning. Over the past eight months, the US has delivered more than $60 billion in military, economic, and humanitarian assistance to Ukraine.

Tells me that if even that political whore gets it, the real internal polling is telling the GOPe RINOs they had better get on board or get left behind.
Kiev is getting lit up like a Christmas tree today...hows that for goodwill?
Kev is a political fag. Maybe a real one.
Democrat, Fake, illegal, Criminal,POTUS, Joe Biden has put the USA in the serious danger zone and has weakened our military where we are open to attack from Russia, China, North Korea & Iran!!! We have no oil, we have no arsenal of weapons!!! And few American men & women Want to volunteer to join the current USA military!!! Wake up America!!! Biden and his Democrat Party are destroying this great nation!!! You did this to yourselves fellow American Citizens!!! Take a good hard look in your bathroom mirror and directly see the cause of the Biden failures!!! Sad Days for the once great USA!!! Go Trump, Go GOP!!!
Say goodbye to right bank Kherson.
Steaming pile of RINO excrement, it is not important. We have zero national interests there.
I believe you are right. He was awful during COVID too. But I have fun replying to his posts anyway. There are several Democrats on here that like to get us all worked up. Rev Mom whatever and DannyTN are two of the most notable.
Keep tip-toeing to a rational response to this ginned-up conflict Kevin and you will accomplish nothing.
Admit this conflict does not involve US Interests, was ginned up to hide the Corruption of the Bidens, Romneys, Pelosi’s, and others.
Admit it was done to hide evidence of that Corruption and Evidence of the Disease Labs in the Ukraine.
Admit it was done to hide evidence of tampering in the US election of 2020.
Admit it was started because the US pushed the Russians too far with respect to NATO Membership for Ukraine, Shelling of the Donbass, reneging on the agreements for the Donbas to be semi-autonomous, etc.
Admit these things, quit your tip-toeing, and be a Man, and Kevin, you might start to be effective as a Leader.
Move to Ukraine and fight if you love Ukraine so much. Only morons want to spend America into oblivion for a corrupt country that we have zero national interests.
” So you would potentially sacrifice America for some corrupt criminals half way around the world. Amazing.”
Amazing that you misread my posting based on what you just said.
Kevin McCarthy Mar 2, 2022
“Vladimir Putin has invaded a sovereign nation and terrorized its civilians. His aggression will not stop with Ukraine. The gravity of this moment calls for Congress to speak with one voice. Today, the House voted overwhelmingly to support stronger sanctions against Russia, immediate and more military aid to Ukraine, and energy independence for America. Now, the Biden administration must take immediate action to keep military aid flowing to Ukraine, displace Russian oil and gas, and regain global energy leadership.”
You implied you might vote for a Democrat in the future if the Republicans don’t fund the Ukrainians. How did I misinterpret that?
Thumbs up on your post!
Given that Biden has made zero effort to "regain global energy leadership" the Ukraine funding needs to stop.
I'd like to see Kevin vow hands off of legimate oversight into US involvement re: Ukraine back to 2013 (and maybe earlier).
I'd also like to see Kevin vow that a case be built, sitting in the docket, for an attorney general post 2024 to prosecute and imprison those inappropriately involved in Ukraine, including expulsion of members of Congress who may still have their butts occupying a seat.
McCarthy, tenant and housemate of gay liberal pollster Frank Luntz, is simply trying to get out in front of any possible conservative opposition to him becoming Speaker.
Any Republican who voted to send money to Ukraine without requiring that money being fully accounted for, should be tossed from office if they haven't already been eliminated during the primary season.
Then while he tries to convince Putin and the other guy to go along with the gag, "The White House" will be busy walking back whatever Joe says. (A normal Tuesday activity.)
That's Joe's October surprise. Everybody will be surprised.
McCarthy is reading the political reality; supporting Zelenskyy is deeply unpopular as is war with Russia.
