Kevin McCarthy Suggesting GOP Won't Aid Ukraine 'Disgraceful'—Liz Cheney (barf alert)
Newsweek ^ | 19 Oct 2023 | Ewan Palmer

Posted on 10/19/2022 7:07:39 AM PDT by NeverCheney

Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming has hit out at House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy's suggestion that a Republican-led House might block military aid to Ukraine, describing the idea as "disgraceful."

Cheney, the vice chair of the January 6 select committee, made the remark on Tuesday while taking questions at an event at the Harvard Institute of Politics.

The Republican congresswoman was asked by a student whether the U.S. could "credibly promote and support democracy" around the world when it's "falling apart" in this country.

In response, Cheney, one of the most vocal Donald Trump critics in the GOP, said first that the U.S. must make sure it is "doing everything necessary" to support the Ukrainian people as Kyiv battles Russia's invasion.

She went on: "I don't know that I can say I was surprised, but I think it's really disgraceful that Minority Leader McCarthy suggested that if the Republicans get the majority back that we will not continue to provide support for the Ukrainians."

If you agree with Liz Cheney on this in any way shape or form you are an enemy of the constitution of the United States.

I read Liz Cheney has a lot of kids - five? Good for her. I suggest she withdraw from politics and be a very active mother/grandmother. That will do them and us a favor and use her energy for good.

I knew this was coming. It is not what McCarthy said but it is exactly how it is being reported. McCarthy is an idiot. This is about to become the issue now

Oh, did Kevin get a read from frank about support for the ukes? Is mrs. Zelinski staying at the London (UK someplace) mansion?

“ McCarthy is an idiot. This is about to become the issue now”

It’s a winning issue. The American people want our tax money spent on America. We have loads of problems at home.

Liz Cheney needs to have her family’s doings put under a microscope.

Nailed it. They view every conflict as an invitation to add a new and costly burden to our country. It was great having a hiatus from the insanity while Trump was president. Now the war mongers are trying to make up for lost time.

People get really worked up when their side hustles are threatened.

That cash comes in really handy.

Just as NATO is fracturing, so is the GOP. McCarthy just chose to stand with MAGA leaving McConnell and his NEOCONS on the sideline.

Welcome McCarthy, use McCarthy but never trust McCarthy.

"...a Republican-led House might block military aid to Ukraine..."

It's obvious that sending weapons to Ukraine for military aid results in more soldiers (both Russian and Ukrainian) getting killed, and more infrastructure getting destroyed. That's not helpful to anybody.

Would it be more "aid" if, somehow, we could force the Uke's and Russkies to negotiate peace?

Maybe it should. 60 billion (probably more) sunk into Ukraine while people in the US struggle to make ends meet. A (facilitated) invasion through the southern border, rampant crime, two tiered justice system....yet no expense spared for Ukraine to the detriment of the citizens those jagoffs in DC are supposed to be representing.

When you have constituents berating AOC in a town hall, there is a real problem.

Sure do hear more about sending $$ and weapons and the threat of nuclear war than we hear about anyone trying to come up with a peaceful resolution. Wonder why? /s

Okay, how much is enough? McCain wanted us in Iraq for 100 years.

Already we have given in seven months an amount equivalent to one-quarter of Ukraine’s entire GDP and more than the ENTIRE U.S. budget of 1951.

Cheney-types want to issue a blank check, and Zelensky would waste no time spending it until WE are broke.
