“humanitarian assistance to Gaza could inadvertently fund “a resupply line for Hamas terrorists.”
Could? Pretty much gautenteed.
FTA-—“The Biden $106 billion proposal is going nowhere, and Senate Republicans will take the lead on crafting a funding bill that protects Americans and their interests,” Sen Cotton said.
<><>“We will not spend $3.5 billion to address the ‘potential needs of Gazans,” arguing that humanitarian assistance to Gaza could inadvertently fund “a resupply line for Hamas terrorists.”
<><>Sen Cotton also balked at spending tax dollars to fund $11.8 billion for Ukraine’s nonmilitary needs, such as retirement pensions for Ukrainian government employees.
<><>“Nor will we spend $4.7 billion tax dollars for housing, transportation, and ‘services’ for illegal aliens in the United States rather than deporting them,” Cotton warned.
Cotton’s tough talk signals a difficult negotiation ahead on Biden’s request for emergency funding for Israel, Ukraine and Taiwan.
Senate Republicans say that any new money for the war in Ukraine must be paired with changes to immigration and asylum policy to slow the flow of migrants across the U.S.-Mexico border.
“Could?”
Doesn’t the sheer, abject stupidity of these people drive you nuts? You could show them a perfectly sunny Indian Summer day and they’d tell you “It COULD be a blizzard any second now.”
