Swalwell: GOP ‘Soft on Russia’ Because They ‘Reflexively’ Do What Trump Wants
Breitbart ^ | 02/26/2024 | Pam Key

Posted on 02/26/2024 6:02:05 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Representative Eric Swalwell (D-CA) said Monday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that Republicans were opposing Ukraine aid for their war against Russia because they “reflexively” did what former President Donald Trump wants.

Swalwell said, “Republicans are soft on Russia. They see it as Trump likes Russia, Russia likes Trump, so we have to go with Trump. And that is how they’re going to view this all the way through. And it is too bad because if you really took a step back, you could see that Ukraine’s freedom ultimately is America’s freedom. That is the story of history when it comes to Russia and brutal, ruthless dictators. But the other piece here, because they love to thump their chest and say they’re tough on China, well, I don’t know if you’re Taiwan and you’re watching, why would you for a second think they would stand up for you when you’re attacked?”

Trump was not “soft on Russia.” Quite the opposite.

Obama was soft on Russia. Biden was soft on Russia.

Compare Russia’s behavior under Obama / Biden to how they behaved during Trump’s administration.

Maybe things will change after Ukraine’s election. Oh wait that was canceled. You know, freedom and all.

Swallow Well is full of *hit.

Before the war on Ukraine, President Trump imposed sanctions on Russia that were tougher than those sanctions wanted by Congress.

The Democrat’s hoax, Crossfire Hurricane, is still being used to implicate President Trump’s connection with Russia. They will not see that Trump’s relation with Russia is a strategy. President Trump’s “carrot” has a stick—a bigly stick.
