Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell dinged fellow Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul for being “an isolationist.”
Last week, Paul managed to delay passage of a $40 billion aid package to help Ukraine fend off Russia’s invasion. The Senate ultimately passed the measure on Thursday.
“My colleague Senator Paul has always been – basically – an isolationist. He’s proud of it and believes that’s where America ought to be. That is a tiny percentage of the Senate Republican conference. We only had 11 votes against the package. I predict we will have even fewer votes opposed to the admission of Finland and Sweden into NATO.”

Remember, Mcconnel is the POS that refused to consider stimulus for the American people which cost us the Senate races in GA and control of the Senate. And NOT ONE DIME for Trump’s wall. But $40 billion for ukraine and the biden family.
Because sticking our nose into other country’s business has worked out so well in the past; right Mitch?
He’s one of the last 11 with a spine and a conscious left, the ones left there are hollow shells wasting valuable air.

#21. 💯 percent
Tough crap, Neocon.
During the 6 days that Rand held up the money laundering to Ukraine, Russia fully liberated Mariupol, and now has just about completed the liberation of the Donbas.
Life sucks, Mitch. You lose.
“...That is a tiny percentage of the Senate Republican conference...”
maybe a small percentage of the Republican conference, but a huge number of Republican voters will tell you this nation doesn’t have that much money to spend on foreign ventures. Get it out of the Europeans!!!
I’ll take an isolationist like Rand Paul over an interventionist like Mitch McConnell.
Tiny percentage of republican conference but a large percentage of the American public.
Rand is an America first kind of guy, Mitch. Unlike you.
Which is horribly unfortunate.
Yet Mitch is PROUD that most of his fellow GOP Senators are globalist anti-Americans.
Globalism, the "new world order" and neoconism is dying.
What does Turtle have against a secure US border?
What The Turtle said is likely true. What he omitted is, that Paul, for his inconsistencies, is FAR more popular with the Republican base than The Turtle is.
That said, Kentucky Republicans appear to be totally out of step with the majority of the Republican base. They keep reelecting The Turtle again and again. Ditto for the clueless in South Carolina regarding Little Linda Grahamnesty.
Rush referred to those people as Low Information Voters. He was correct. Those people will be the downfall of this Republic.
In such a case sometimes it's better to allow themselves to war with each other as it keeps them too busy too harm others. Iran and Iraq was one such example. I believe this to be a case with Ukraine and Russia. I don't like nor trust Putin and he is likely soon on his way out of office. I see no advantage in us helping someone who helped Joe on the Ukraine side. Choose your battles wisely and Joe Biden is too foolish and senile to lead our nation through a war.
Mitch, The Senator from the PRC, not Kentucky....
