House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said Tuesday that he would question Ukrainian President Volodoymr Zelensky about the money the US has spent on the war in Ukraine when the two meet later this week.
When asked if he would commit to more aid for Ukraine, McCarthy said, “Is Zelenskyy elected to Congress? Is he our president? I don’t think I have to commit anything and I think I have questions for him.”
“Where’s the accountability on the money we’ve already spent? What is the plan for victory? I think that’s what the American public wants to know,” McCarthy added.
Zelensky is headed to Washington after the UN General Assembly in New York and is expected to press Congress to authorize the additional $24 billion in spending on the war that President Biden has requested.
The White House wants Congress to include the new Ukraine aid in a stop-gap funding bill that needs to pass before September 30 to avert a government shutdown. But the resolution McCarthy has put forward does not include the Ukraine spending, angering Democrats.
“And with no Ukraine funding, the proposal is an insult to Ukraine and a gift to Putin. I cannot think of a worse welcome for Zelensky who visits us this week than this House proposal, which ignores Ukraine entirely,” said Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on Monday.
Since McCarthy’s resolution does not include the Ukraine funding, it has no chance of passing the Senate. He has also expressed doubt that it will make it through the House since some more conservative GOP members in the House oppose the bill due to the spending levels.
McCarthy: “Are the $150 billion sent to Ukraine being used properly?”
Zelensky: “You bet!”
McCarthy: “Good enough for me”
LOL. My thoughts exactly! But, I’m sure Zelensky is bringing receipts for houses and yachts he purchased with our money just in case he has to bribe McCarthy during his “
questioning” petting session. (Sarcasm)Chuck Schumer like all the other demo rats: “I tawt I taw a PUTIIIIIIIN!” ….Sorry, Tweety Bird. (Sarcasm)
Don’t worry. There’s plenty sarcastic puns going around on forums. Notably the BBC. It’s filled to the brim with the Liberal LGBTQ+ faction. They tied-in Ukraines struggle for emancipation to theirs. Already hated Putin/Kremlin for their non-conformist attitudes on orientation and same-sex marriages. They even downvote neutrals with feverish zeal. They see Zelenskiy as their flag-bearer🏳️🌈, freedom-fighter, hero and saviour.
In case you feel guilty about eating a big breakfast, you can get rid of it fast by watching one of his viral video clips. (Sarcasm)
How much has Schumer donated ? Treasonous bastard.
Sure he’ll “ask questions”. “Hard Ones”, like “Mr Z, do you have enough money? Can we give you more”? Or, “Is there anything else we can give you”?
Liar and Hypocrite.
