Report: McConnell to Appear with Ukrainian Ambassador in ‘All Out’ Push for $61.4 Billion Taxpayer Aid
Breitbart ^ | 10/30/2023 | KRISTINA WONG

Posted on 10/30/2023 10:57:06 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

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.

“Mitch Meets with Child Sex Trafficker” is the more accurate headline.

‘And provide welfare to their people”

This is how they pay us back.

Ukraine abstained in the anti-Israel resolution that passed the UN General Assembly yesterday 120-14 with 45 abstentions...

Voting against it would have cost them nothing, but they did it anyway.

If I didn’t know any better, I’d think he’s being blackmailed by Ukraine

It’s really not that difficult. Mitch’s top donors and connections are benefitting from the conflict. We don’t need to look any further than that.

I doubt he’s being blackmailed. He’s just making money hand over fist on it and doesn’t want to see the golden goose destroyed.

At some point, when is enough ‘enough’?

He’s so old not that he couldn’t enjoy his ill-gotten gains if he were to retire today at 5pm.

It cannot be solely for the greed of filthy lucre.

There must be a moral facet to the reasoning that would prove to be so damaging and image destroying that they all are too scared to allow anybody to uncover it even after they are gone to their final reward......................

As if we’ve got $61.4 billion.

+++++++++++++

Everytime you see a give away of $100 billion that means:

300 USD for every one of the 330 million citizens.
1200 USD for a family of four.
Double the previous numbers as half the people don’t pay taxes.
Such a deal, eh?
