Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) is stepping up his pressure on Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) to put the Senate-passed foreign aid bill up for a vote in the House, warning Wednesday that “starving” Ukraine of military support is “strategic and moral malpractice.”
McConnell told a radio host in Louisville recently that despite plans to retire from Senate leadership, he intends to stay in the Senate through the end of his term in 2027 in order to fight back “against the isolationist movement in my own party.”
On Wednesday, he did that by taking shots at President Biden for not providing military support to Ukraine more quickly and at members of the Republican Party who are now holding up $60 billion in aid for Ukraine.
“Starving Ukraine of needed capabilities wasn’t a smart way for the Biden administration to avoid escalation, and neither is it a political master stroke by some of the administration’s Republican opponents. It is strategic and moral malpractice. It risks condemning Ukraine and undermining our own national interest,” McConnell said on the Senate floor.
McConnell has repeatedly called on Johnson to bring the Senate-passed $95 billion aid package up for a vote. The Senate passed the bill Feb. 13, almost two months ago.
The Senate bill also includes military aid for Israel and security assistance to the Indo-Pacific to deter growing Chinese aggression.
The Senate GOP leader recently warned that House Republican plans to turn aid for Ukraine into a loan program or to authorize the seizure of Russian assets to pay for the reconstruction of Ukraine could delay the aid package for weeks longer.

The Turtle is a greasy piece of Republicant shite.
Ditch is the King of moral malpractice.
They are all panicking because Zelenski has the receipts on the money laundering through Ukraine they are petrified that he will start flapping his jaws!! The 3 letter agencies will take him out shortly can’t believe they haven’t done it already, HOWEVER I am quite sure they have ALL been thinking the money would keep on flowing there!!
Morality lessons from the turtle.
It’s akin to morality lessons from a prostitute.
Thanks for the LOL.
I’m wondering if he twisted arms for the label Republican leader and not minority leader.
The GOP is a 1/3 favorite to retake the Senate. It will be immensely disappointing if another one of these idiots becomes majority leader.
1) It’s a lost cause. Russia will win. They’re much bigger than Ukraine, and have many more resources.
2) We don’t have the money. We are in deep debt, and can’t afford to borrow money to give to Ukraine.
3) I feel sorry for Ukrainians.
When is the next election in the Uke “Democracy”?

Zelenski has cancelled all elections, Zelenski will be 6ft. under very shortly OR he has let it be known he has a dead man switch!!
McConnell’s last mission for the deep-state
The reason to support aid to Ukraine is that this is opportune moment to roll back ill gotten Soviet/Russian gains in Europe from its partnership with Hitler to start WWII. The elites in Europe and North America want to see Russia lose this war badly, and Ukraine has been used as money laundering hub by these same elites. However, support for Ukraine isn’t popular domestically, and Trump knows this. Aid to Ukraine would be less controversial if the Bidet Regime hadn’t opened the country’s borders and left them open. It just makes for bad optics, as the people see the elites have an agenda different from the masses of American citizens.
Rotten bribe taking Chicom family marrying, kicked outta the Army reserves for being a deviant. The story is that shortly after his arrival he was diagnosed with “optic neuritis” and deemed medically unfit for military. Supposedly one of the Sergeants said “yeah, he couldn’t tell men from women”.
Corrupt anti-maga POS.
They could have gotten anything they wanted for Ukraine if they secured the USA border. They refused.
Go fight you Turdle
That filthy country embraced Nazism, uses the emblem of the 2nd SS, ran a NEST of spies against Trump, and bribed Joe Biden, the kids of Biden, Kerry, Pelosi, Romney’s Chief of staff. They have thoroughly corrupted DC.
Pray for their defeat. A side benefit it that it will humiliate DC and weaken them. And THEY are the ones most threatening our liberty in America.
...and not replacing you should be career-limiting.
How much is he getting paid from funding Ukraine?
FO, McConnell. You’re no different than the bookie encouraging the chump to take another pointless beatdown. You’re a total POS, McConnell.
Yes and the only reason he is staying in the US Senate is because he knows he can stymie the MAGA agenda. One vote counts after all and he’ll still have influence
He’s a horrible and bitter person.
