Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is set to travel to Washington next week after a gathering of world leaders at the United Nations General Assembly in New York,” the Washington Post reports.

“Zelensky’s visit was coordinated with the Biden administration in a joint push to reinforce the importance of Congress granting the White House’s supplemental request for more than $24 billion in additional aid to Ukraine.”

Republicans vote overwhelmingly in favor of every lethal aid package to Ukraine. This is something America has united on. It's good to have something both parties agree on from time to time.

Except for these 11 on the last bill:

Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, John Boozman of Arkansas, Mike Braun of Indiana, Mike Crapo of Idaho, Bill Hagerty of Tennessee, Josh Hawley of Missouri, Mike Lee of Utah, Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming, Roger Marshall of Kansas, Rand Paul of Kentucky, Tommy Tuberville of Alabama

Edit: Those clowns were complaining about oversight. Really? Oversight is a very dirty word for them.

In July, there were 70 Republicans that voted for this: https://amendments-rules.house.gov/amendments/GAETZ_144_xml230630153411789.pdf

Make no mistake: Republicans are not united on this and mainly want isolationism and to get in Putins favor. Have you missed all of their rhetoric somehow?
