Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Monday called for lawmakers to approve an aid package for Ukraine, even as newly elected Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) prepares to put a bill containing only money for Israel on the floor.
“This is a moment for swift and decisive action to prevent further loss of life, and to impose real consequences on the tyrants who have terrorized the people of Ukraine and of Israel,” McConnell said while introducing Oksana Markarova, the Ukrainian ambassador to the U.S., at an event at the University of Louisville.
“Right now, the Senate has a chance to produce supplemental assistance that will help us do exactly that,” McConnell said. “Enemies abroad will be watching closely and waiting for America to falter. Only our concrete and credible support can deter our adversaries in the future and restore security.”
The Kentucky Republican, who is the lead GOP voice calling for $60 million [Surely they mean billion?] to help Ukraine in its war against Russian aggression, added that the wars facing Israel and Ukraine now are intertwined.
“Think of it as an axis of evil: China, Russia and Iran,” he continued. “So this is not just a test for Ukraine. It is a test for the United States and for the free world. And the path toward greater security for all of us is simple: Help Ukraine win the war.”
McConnell’s comments once again show the disagreement between the Republican leaders in the Senate and House.

McConnel, get your head back into you shell and STFU.
Fighting is for poor people.
Mitch the Bitch can go $&@%# herself.
MONEY LAUNDERING!

And a special thanks to the Republican voters of Kentucky for giving us this POS.
God I can’t stand this SOB.
F@$k your test. Go die quietly.
No McConnell, the real test for the US and the rest of the world is the attack on Israel by Hamas and the follow-on attacks by Hesbola and other Iranian stooges — and you have failed miserably McConnell
What “free world”?
McConnell draws Goodwill, empathy, and compassion, by the nanometeic thimble full.
This piece of garbage old selfish turd knows saying stuff like this infuriates the voters.
He is such a hateful old man.
Repeal the 17th Amendment.
