McConnell looks to cement legacy as ‘Reagan Republican’ with crusade for Ukraine support
Fox News ^ | 04/10/2024 | Julia Johnson

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., is planning to devote much of his energy in the remaining months of his term as Republican leader, as well as the next few years of his term, to ensuring Ukraine is supported as its war with Russia rages on.

"It may not be fashionable now, but I’m a Ronald Reagan Republican: peace through strength," the longtime Senate GOP leader said during a speech in Shelbyville, Kentucky, per local outlet the Kentucky Lantern.

McConnell has been a proponent of continued support for Ukraine, even after members of his party began to push back.

McConnell crusading for Ukraine support might be the missing piece that American taxpayers need to swing the deal in our favor.

And Speaker Johnson has flipped sides, suddenly wants to send off as much as possible to Ukraine. They have much to hide in Ukraine, and Johnson and McConnell have much to hide personally.

Reagan would have ended this war for the murderous, totalitarian scam that it is. McConnell is pure leftist scum.

Reagan would NOT have supported this debacle in Ukraine even if it was a Soviet operation. He might have put spec ops people there as he did elsewhere. No way, Mitch- your legacy of real success lies in preventing Merrick Garland (a true lunatic) from SCOTUS and other judiciary successes. Money wise -you have been an enabler of Pelosi and Schumer for 20 years.

From the RINO instruction and motivation book:

To get anything done, just put “Reagan” in front of it and claim his legacy as being part of it. Never minding, of course, that when Reagan was running we did everything we could to stop him, sabotage him and destroy him. Hell, we ran an independent to try and siphon votes and give the election to Carter. That son of a gun won anyway and now we get to claim his legacy. GO TEAM RINO, you got this.

Mitch, you’ve already cemented your legacy and it generally ain’t good.

RINOs are absolutely desperate. They all claim “Reagan” for their deep-state/neocon schemes.

Their propaganda is almost as stupid as the Democrats’

He's cementing his legacy as a Bush Republican not as a Reagan Republican.

Our meddling in Ukraine is the ultimate example of neocon foreign policy.

Much as I support Ukraine really don’t see how McConnell can help, considering the opposition is from conservatives in the House.

While many of you will scream and yell, he’d be doing Trump a favor because it will not be good going into the election if Ukraine falls as a result of republican opposition.

Maybe Ronald McDonald, but certainly NOT Ronald Wilson Reagan.

How about peace through strength for America Mitch? Why should my tax money go to Ukraine? Must be something in it monetarily for you.
