Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is reportedly planning to appear with Ukraine’s ambassador to the U.S. at a Monday event in Kentucky as part of his push to reportedly go “all out” on securing $61.4 billion of American taxpayer aid for Ukraine.

Politico’s Burgess Everett reported that McConnell will appear with Ambassador Oksana Markarova at the University of Louisville to “again publicly commit the United States to Kyiv’s defense against Russia,” as part of his push.

McConnell’s support for Ukraine pits him against some in his own caucus, as well as House Republicans who are refusing to send another cent to Ukraine after the $113 billion the U.S. has already committed since February 2022.

The $61.4 billion for Ukraine would be part of a larger package requested by the Biden administration for $105 billion. Of that, $14.3 billion would go to Israel, $13.6 billion to the U.S.’s southern border, $9.15 billion for humanitarian aid for Palestinian, Israeli, and Ukrainian civilians, and $7.4 billion for Taiwan and Asian allies.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

What. The. F??????????????????????????????

[PGR88]

That’s our problem - the American people need an Embassy and Ambassador to represent us to the US Government.

[Lurker]

No.

[Reverend Wright]

These guys are going to shut the Government down unless Ukraine gets its money.

That’s the plan.

[Regulator]

If only we could get 1/10 of that for our own border control.

[kawhill]

Makes me wonder what Mitch’s cut is.

[Hambone 1934]

30 billion to Israel and 30 billion for our own border.....

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Either that or they are getting kickbacks. ALL of that money should be going to our military!!!! Instead it’s going to one of the most corrupt countries on earth

Scratch the $9.15 billion for Pali's and reduce the $61.4 billion to Ukraine to $9.15 billion...

[Red Badger]

It’s pure treason is what it is....................

[Brian Griffin]

an armistice is needed

[escapefromboston]

Seems kind of like a lot of money

[Ann Archy]

NO MORE MONEY LAUNDERING, MITCHIE!!

[Brian Griffin]

“$9.15 billion for humanitarian aid for Palestinian”

It’s time for Mitch to retire.

[central_va]

Kick backs, follow the money.

[Brian Griffin]

People holding hostages don’t deserve humanitarian aid.

Well, something very odd is going on here. It’s one thing to believe in a program. But McConnell is way over the top here. It’s like he can’t control himself.

So, yeah. It seems personal with him. Blackmail? Bribes? Pressure from his ChiCom father-in-law?
