House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) has warned that the blank checks for Ukraine will likely end when the GOP takes control of Congress after the midterms.
McCarthy, who will be the probable House speaker come January, said that voters won’t want to send billions of dollars abroad while American families are struggling at home.
He said: “I think people are gonna be sitting in a recession and they’re not going to write a blank check to Ukraine.
“They just won’t do it. It’s not a free blank check.”
After facing a backlash from Democrats over his prediction, McCarthy doubled down: “I think Ukraine is very important.
“I support making sure that we move forward to defeat Russia in that program.
“But there should be no blank check on anything. We are $31 trillion in debt.
“It’s amazing to me that that somehow made news.“Wouldn’t you want a check and balance in Congress?“Wouldn’t you want this hardworking taxpayers’ money, someone overseeing it? Slay the latest News for free! “We’ve got to eliminate the wasteful spending in Washington.”McCarthy reminded the critics that it was the GOP who wanted to arm Ukraine earlier but Biden and Obama did not.“I remember then-Vice President Biden telling me that Germany wouldn’t like that,” McCarthy said.“I then advocated that, well, why don’t we train them on the Javelins and keep them in Poland so they can move forward?”“I believe we could do things smarter, we could be ahead.“We could make sure that Russia wouldn’t see weakness going forward and then cost us more money, more lives, more damage.“That is what I’m talking about when you talk about no blank check.“I believe in accountability,” McCarthy said .Soon to be ex-Rep.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
