Wow, what an upgrade this guy is over Cuck McCarthy. Speaker Johnson has laid down the gauntlet and no says that no more funding for Ukraine will be passed in the House until ‘transformative change’ on our border with Mexico.. Of course will he honor this? That’s the biggest question with politicians.
House Speaker Mike Johnson told the White House Tuesday that Republicans will not approve any additional aid for Ukraine until the Biden administration and other leading Democrats accept “transformative change” to US border policies.
Johnson (R-La.) issued a public letter in response to White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director Shalanda Young, who told Congress Monday that “we will run out of resources to procure more weapons and equipment for Ukraine and to provide equipment from US military stocks” by the end of this year.
“There is no magical pot of funding available to meet this moment,” Young added. “We are out of money — and nearly out of time.”
In response, Johnson said Republicans had made their position clear since late October, when he met with White House officials following his election as speaker.
“I explained that supplemental Ukraine funding is dependent upon enactment of transformative change to our nation’s border security laws,” he went on, later adding: “What is happening at the border is nothing short of a catastrophe.”
