Congress’ nearly $40 billion package of humanitarian aid and critical weapons for Ukraine is taking heat from a growing number of conservative lawmakers, candidates, activists, and even Trump

It’s “America First,” not “Ukraine First,” some Republicans are openly telling the establishment. Now the establishment is fighting back.

You would think all our politicians would be America first

Wow. Do you guys do ANY RESEARCH? 86-11, Senate passes $40 billion package for Ukraine

11 GOP senators voted against the aid, please explain how that's such a big deal when that means over 3 times as many GOP voted for it. And who cares what Trump says.

And there were many who fought any form of help to the UK in 1940-41 snd Lend-Lease. They were called America First; some were also in the Bund and other pro German and pro Axis groups or members of the communist party.. good company. WalshFreedom McCainSuzanne HeathMayo

First, Trump is an autocrat who is in Putin’s pocket I wonder what Putin has offered him 4 his influence The yo yos who r against the aid, are aiming 4 appointments in the coming Trump autocracy If the GOP wins both chambers, aid 4 struggling countries will stop

Why? Why did you HAVE to mention him…..?

Ain't going to happen

republicans' America First = Me First.

If Ukraine fails, those budget will become bad debts that can not collected!?

' . . . even Trump?' That's like rattling off a list of traitors, saying 'even Benedict Arnold.' Politico sometimes reads like a high school paper.

AJDelgado13 No doubt these Cultists would rather aid Russia in its murderous rampage of another country.

Why do we care what Trump thinks? Did anyone ask Obama? How about George W Bush? Bill Clinton? Has Jimmy Carter weighed in?

Lol

Yes, what’s wrong with using our tax dollars to help our people?

Republicans have selfish motives to block the aid, and secretly happy their comrade is winning...

The Republicans need to resurrect that Tea Party Movement again. I'm sure those people could use the extra income.

Really, we can't agree that preventing China/Russia from getting more powerful, and also owning extremely important natural resources is well spent money?

Delete your account. Like just shockingly bad reporting.

is absurdly pro GOP. How can you let them get away with claiming “America First” when NONE of these GOPers support doing ANYTHING but the GOP Tax Scam? They all voted against infrastructure, helping veterans, child tax credit, even things like rural broadband!

'Even Trump'?

You mean the guy (Trump) who withheld Approved weapons from Ukraine to try and get a “favor” and regularly praised Putin doesn’t support Ukraine in it’s fight against Putin. Well, I for one am shocked at this turn of events! Who would have thunk? 🤦‍♂️

'Even trump'? You seem surprised trump opposes aid to Ukraine? The guy that is 💯% pro Putin? To quote John McEnroe, 'YOU cannot be SERIOUS!'

So LeaderMcConnell you lied to Ukraine

Politico, seriously, what GOP ❄️ pretending to be 'objective' wrote this 🗑? stopthedeplorables

so funny bc they wouldn’t spend any of this money on actual Americans. This is the radical right wing not wanting to lose their boy putin.

Ahhhhhhh… write better

Sickening but its primary day.

Guy who takes money from Russia backs Putin.

GOP has put America first, ever! They want to take away Social Security, Medicare, Medicad, the ACA, SNAP program, etc. They refuse to pass bills that would improve our schools, infrastructure, etc. But cut taxes for large business so they get voted back in.

GQP protecting Russia

Accountability is key, but Americans cannot understand why they have to pay so much for their fuel and why there is a nation-wide shortage of baby food, yet the country is selling billions overseas.

Even Trump? Really? Dude was the original guy who didn’t want to help Ukraine. Remember? There was that impeachment thingy? The first one, I mean. Kinda mighta had something to do with an outside interest. Or two.

Lol you are a joke of a news network

These are not conservatives. They are Trumpies. Real conservatives would enthusiastically support & vote for this aid.

What do you mean “even Trump” It all started with him! shameful

Even Trump🤷‍♂️

You forgot to mention the Koch family

Dressing up weapons sale as humanitarian aid is a classic ploy claiming it for democracy instead of proxy war, isn't it?

Putin must have started dangling Kompromat in front of them, no?

Stop calling them conservative. They’re authoritarian. Call them that.

If Trump hadn't given Afghanistan to the Taliban, I don't think Putin would have thought he could take Ukraine. America First=save today, pay 100x as much in a few months, including at the pump.

🤬🤬🤬

Imagine the savings we would have incurred had we just taken this approach with the Northern Alliance 20 years ago in Afghanistan.

Hey : what the hell does 'conservative' mean anymore? These people don't give a shit about freedom, democracy, stability, or the free market. They are not conservatives

Is the the Onion?

'even trump'... is this the onion?

“Even Trump” Lol seriously? Trump withheld an arms package to Ukraine when he was president, surely you remember?

It’s not a bug, it’s their core product feature.

America First? The only thing they’d do with that 40 billion dollars are give it to billionaires in tax breaks or built that stupid wall that can easily be breached.

What about Carter, Clinton, Bush, and Obama. How do they feel? Oh. That is right. Their opinions are irrelevant just like Trump’s.

I pray that the American Fascisti keeps heading in this direction… at Jim Jordan/MTG decibel level. The midterms are looking better every day.

Trump ran up 6 B in debt on average PER DAY over his term — 8 T in 4 years…keep in mind that was as much as the US had accumulated as of 2008 in 200+ years…so NOW the Republican outrage on spending? or perhaps bc it’s going to defeat their biggest donor, Putin

There’s money for Americans, it’s the GOP blocking all of it.

“And even Trump”. Seriously?

'Even Trump'? You're saying the guy who tried to extort the Ukrainian president is now against sending them aid? You don't say....
