McCarthy declines to host Capitol meeting with Zelensky amid GOP split over Ukraine funding
Just the News ^ | 9/21/23 | Madeleine Hubbard

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is not hosting a meeting on Capitol Hill with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, even though the leader of the war-torn country is scheduled to meet the entire Senate in the U.S. Capitol, as Republicans are divided over continuing U.S. funding to Kyiv in the fight against Russia.

House lawmakers who want to hear from Zelensky will need to leave the Capitol to meet with him Thursday at the National Archives, "The New York Times" reported.

McCarthy (R-Calif.) is still expected to privately meet with Zelensky, but his decision not to host a meeting with all House members on Capitol Hill comes as dozens of Republicans have expressed opposition to President Joe Biden's latest request for $24 billion in military and humanitarian aid for Ukraine.

Zelensky fired 7 people for corruption and is back with his hat out for more money stooge Biden will give it to him.

Why does Ukraine still need money?
They’re totally kicking Russia’s ass, right?
Is this money for their victory parade?

Brilliant! 😄

I guess McCarthy and some of the Reps don’t feel like being lectured by that weasel.

Yes, but McCarthy will meet him in private. That is even worse because he is only doing that because he knows the coke head midget has been poppin’ off the insults and threats to Americans lately.

It’s like the letters I got from John Thune after sending him $50 to defeat tiny Tom Daschle. You’re on your own pal. No need to go back to the well.

The followup pictures of his beautiful family didn’t work

We either need to fight our own wars or stay out of others. Proxy wars are a total misuse of our tax dollars!

Don’t go on Twitter or X as they call it. There’s a video of Z-man wearing skin colored spandex and sequins vibrating his body fat, twig and berries in some kind of dance…. Truly a disturbing image you can not unsee!

The House, where all money bills must originate, is struggling
over a continuing resolution to keep OUR govt funded.

The $24.9 billion for Ukraine is not in any proposed CR......so far.

Yet Biden demands Ukraine be handed
<><> $13.1 billion tax dollars for military assistance;
<><>$8.5 billion for “humanitarian aid” (to finance Mrs Zelensky’s shopping trips to Paris);
<><> plus $2.3 billion to the World Bank for an idiotic scheme to pressure other donors.

No word on how much gets deposited offshore for the Bidens and the corrupt Zelensky crew.

It is alleged that Biden gets a cut too, so they are business partners.

I say cut him off without a penny. Let Germany and Poland fund the war. Worry not—the Ukraine people will take care of Mr. Z—in time. He aint no saint. Even if we give him his vaunted F-16s we shouldn’t need to listen to his prattle and wave is flag like Nancy P.
