House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said Saturday he will not remove funding for Ukraine from a Pentagon spending package, contradicting his stance from the day before.
McCarthy told reporters at the Capitol that he made the decision to keep the $300 million of Ukraine aid in the bill after recognizing that another spending measure set to come up next week that funds the State Department and Foreign Operations, also includes funds for Ukraine, according to The Hill.
The package has already twice failed in a procedural vote due to internal Republican opposition.
McCarthy explained that removing the Ukraine aid out of the State Department and Foreign Operations measure would be difficult.
The House next week is supposed to vote on a single procedural vote to advance four appropriations bills that include certain measures that fund the Pentagon and the State Department and Foreign Operations.
“That’s not solving it because one of the others has some Ukraine things,” McCarthy said, regarding taking the Ukraine aid out of the Pentagon appropriations bill. “So it became too difficult to do that so we’re leaving it in.”

Will all the so-called Republican legislators who threatened McCarthy’s removal please step forward?
Good. Let him pass it with Ds and expose this Uniparty charade once and for all.
What’s odd is the 5 republican no votes on the NDAA last week. I doubt it would make it through the senate but they had anti DEI and other measures that sounded good.
Cowardly New Yawk GOOBers. (Basically the same thing as a fart-left liberal New Yawker).
He’s toast.
Surprise! The uniparty strikes again.
File the damned Motion already.

I'll put in a $50 donation to FR to any FReeper that the gubmint will not get shut down by the end of this month. If the gubmint actually shuts down, I'll donate a $50 spot to FR.
I guess ‘they’ promised him 10% of their 10%.
Trump always supported him. Am I missing something?
Did they all take a step backwards yet?
Gaetz neeeds to file the motion to vacate or shut the hell up.
Wimp. He should resign as Speaker. NO MORE MONEY OR RESOURCES FOR UKRAINE!
McCarthy, you’re a gutless puke.
A leader would do the right thing regardless.
You DO NOT qualify.

10% for the Big Guys.
Good. Let him pass it with Ds and expose this Uniparty charade once and for all.
He’s pretty much already done that, hasn’t he?
