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.

"George Will is a vile little Assistant Democrat puke."

And a contemplable pearl clutching propagandizer.

[El Cid]

Endangering the taxpayer's sweat and tears showered on the elites in DC (and the surrounding Capitol chateaus) - i.e., George Will's comrades.
But, no surprise, Congress voted to send billions to the money laundering machine called the Ukraine. Kickbacks expected in the near future. So George Will can be happy...

That man has for a long time become vile and obnoxious.

I quit watching Fox News Sunday to avoid having to see that face and hear that voice.

Will may be bad.

The folks questioning Trump while he is obv trying to avoid being convicted of insurrection by the House are worse.

Is this prig still bloviating?

I didn’t know that this POS was still with us.

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

The serfs are back on the feudal estate. We will own nothing and love it…

[Bullish]

So the little crackpot is still with us? I thought he was getting tired of exposing himself as a rino neocon.

[circlecity]

Will is as deep as deep state gets.

“George Will, a conservative columnist....” Since when?

George Will was born BEFORE World War II started... It's been a long time since people like us thought of him as a conservative..

I didn’t know Ukraine had a baseball team?

Will is a “conservative” for the WAPO just as David Brooks is a “conservative” for the NY Slimes. Conservative in name only.

George Will has not been relevant since he sat across from Sam Donaldson and next to David Brinkley.

[Chgogal]

I miss David Brinkley. Haven’t watched the Sunday show since he passed.

[mbrfl]

Hey George, the 1980’s called. They want their nerd back.

[kawhill]

George, why don’t you write another book about baseball? I actually thought “Bunts” and “Men at Work” were pretty good books. Why don’t you stick to that? Pun intended.
