George Will: House Republicans voted to endanger ‘civilization’ with Ukraine aid opposition
The Hill ^ | 04/24/2024

Posted on 04/24/2024 12:28:32 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

George Will, a conservative columnist for The Washington Post, went after House Republicans who recently voted against more aid to Ukraine in a Wednesday opinion piece in the Post.

In the opinion, highlighted by Mediaite, Will said the 112 Republicans House Republicans who voted against Ukraine aid “voted last Saturday to endanger civilization,” calling them “ignoble.”

“Hoping to enhance their political security in their mostly safe seats, and for the infantile satisfaction of populist naughtiness (insulting a mostly fictitious ‘establishment’), they voted to assure [Russian President Vladimir Putin’s] attempt to erase a European nation,” Will wrote in his column.

Opponents of more aid to Ukraine included far-right hard-liners such as Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), who went after House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) for his support of the bill, calling him a “traitor” after the lower chamber passed it.

Not another dime.

Included in the Ukraine/Israel/Taiwan funding bill was roughly $4 billion for “migration and refugee assistance,” which is doled out to NGOs operating along the border and tasked with giving funds and travel assistance to illegal immigrants who have been released from federal custody.

In other words, Johnson, Trump and the GOP isn’t just neglecting the border crisis, they are actively funding it.

Speaker Johnson who was endorsed by Trump after allowing the above to be signed into law.

George Will is like Jennifer Rubin.

They are "house conservatives." Every mainstream (leftist) publication has a "house conservative."

A safe, tame "conservative" who agrees with the left on the fundamentals, but is allowed to make an occasional, weak, ineffective point that is a wee bit to the right of Mao.

Why do we have to borrow billions for Ukraine Will? How much is Europe contributing? MAGA is done with the America World Cops thing. Maybe if Zelensky gives Trump Biden’s scalp we would reconsider.

George Will? Didn't he used to be somebody?

Talk about the resurrection of the dead. Time for Will to retire and head for the Villages.

Yep…if we wouldn’t have sent our grandchildren’s money to Ukraine, the Ruskies would be in London in a month! But I just can’t figure out why Putin didn’t annex all of Georgia and Ukraine??
