Sherman describes it as “the world vs. Mike Johnson” and feedback by McConnell present that he’s completely according to his Democrat counterparts in placing Ukraine and Israel first whereas letting the safety of Individuals turn out to be an afterthought.

McConnell’s feedback, as reported by Sherman, are infuriatingly anti-American.

McConnell’s Priorities Are Clear

It’s onerous to disagree with Sherman’s take that Johnson is up in opposition to three males in that “large 4” situation. McConnell’s feedback are a transparent indication that he has unabashedly sided with Schumer and Jeffries.

Suggesting a overseas assist invoice is “the one recreation on the town” and to “put the border apart” are feedback almost indiscernible from any far-left Democrat.

Precise conservatives on X had been, to place it mildly, dismayed with McConnell’s dancing like a educated monkey for the Democrat get together and Ukraine.

“That’s in your face. They don’t care,” Bannon mentioned. “Not solely do they not care, they need it opened. It’s working for the donor class.”

It’s not as if McConnell hasn’t been telegraphing his priorities for a while now. Priorities that put America on the again burner whereas he tends to his child in Ukraine.

Funding the warfare effort in Ukraine has been his high precedence, interval, finish of story, for properly over a 12 months now.

Schumer instructed reporters that “McConnell was the lead speaker in saying we would have liked to do Ukraine” throughout the personal assembly on the White Home on Tuesday.

Politico reports that McConnell “views the struggle for Ukraine assist as essential to his 40-year Senate legacy.”

Think about spending 4 many years in Congress and your complete legacy – in your personal thoughts – hinges on what you probably did to assist Ukraine, not what you’ve executed to assist the American folks.
