Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell continued advocating for including aid for Ukraine in the national security supplemental, while introducing Ukrainian Ambassador to the US Oksana Markarova at an event Monday in Louisville, Kentucky.
Across the Capitol, newly-elected Speaker Mike Johnson is expected to advance a bill this week that only provides aid for Israel, a sign of the division within the most senior members of the Republican Party on support for Ukraine.
“This is a moment for swift and decisive action to prevent further loss of life, and to impose real consequences on the tyrants who have terrorized the people of Ukraine and of Israel. And right now, the Senate has a chance to produce supplemental assistance that will help us do exactly that,” McConnell said. “Enemies abroad will be watching closely and waiting for America to falter. Only our concrete and credible support can deter our adversaries in the future and restore security.”

How can we be sure he wasn’t simply frozen in place at the right time for someone to make assumptions?
This motherfucker goes in and out of the twilight zone.
I think somebody else managed to grab his remote control.
“I’m not a Russian puppet, I’m just sometimes a useful idiot for them!” - McConnell
Maybe he should have considered the consequences of enabling the lunatic wing in his own party that openly expressed sympathy with Russia.
He’s pretty shrewd so I’m sure he did. He’s got the political clout to be able to disagree with them. Also, they make him look like the lesser of two evils.
Even a broken clock can be right twice a day…
Can’t believe I’m saying this about Mitchty boy, but it’s the best compliment he will ever get from me.
Once a day if you’re on military time
He’s a Chinese puppet
I dislike it when his interests temporarily align with my principles - it is difficult to bear the disquiet of agreeing with such a man, even by accident.
All the same, it would be best for the aid to Ukraine to be advanced.
You want aid to Ukraine so they can repel Russia. Mitch probably wants it because defense industry lobbyists want more profits.

I know a lot of people are very critical of Mitch McConnell, but if he were here he would explain that there are very

Gurl please. Mitch will put Adolf in a wood chipper without blinking.
As much as I detest Turtle, I do hope he pulls some bitter shenanigans against MAGA Mike.
Seems weird to give money to both groups, as they have opposing efforts.
it’s the centrist approach
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell continued advocating for including aid for Ukraine in the national security supplemental, while introducing Ukrainian Ambassador to the US Oksana Markarova at an event Monday in Louisville, Kentucky.

“This is a moment for swift and decisive action to prevent further loss of life, and to impose real consequences on the tyrants who have terrorized the people of Ukraine and of Israel.
He tied aggression against Israel and Ukraine together, telling attendees, “Think of it as an axis of evil: China, Russia and Iran.
Johnson vowed on Sunday to move forward with a $14.5 billion aid package for Israel when the House returns later this week, according to sources on his first GOP conference call since ascending to the top job.
“If Russia prevails, there’s no question that Putin’s appetite for empire will actually extend into NATO, raising the threat to the US trans-Atlantic alliance, and the risk of war for us.”
