Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) announced Friday that he will strip funding for Ukraine out of a Pentagon spending bill after Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) joined conservatives in blocking the legislation from advancing earlier this week.
McCarthy said he would remove the $300 million for Ukraine currently in the Pentagon appropriations bill and hold a separate vote on the funding.
“It would be out and voted on by itself,” McCarthy said when asked about the Ukraine aid in the Pentagon appropriations bill.
The Speaker’s announcement comes one day after a band of five conservatives opposed a procedural vote for the Pentagon appropriations bill, sinking the effort and preventing the legislation from moving forward. It was the second time this week that hard-liners blocked the funding bill from advancing.
Good, no more foreign wars, this isn’t what democrats should be focused on
We’re funding Ukraine so we won’t have to fight a foreign war.
Hey, that’s two steps of logic, that’s cleary too much for them.
Damn it’d be nice to be this naive again.
No more foreign wars until WWIII
Guess the US should also close every forward operating base then and let our allies in East Asia fend for themselves against China and North Korea.
