Conservative groups lobby against lame-duck Ukraine aid in fresh GOP pressure campaign

A coalition of more than a dozen powerful conservative groups is pressing lawmakers to delay consideration of any additional aid to Ukraine until the new Congress is sworn in next year, Axios has learned.It's an early indication of the pressure Republicans are expected to face from some of their most influential grassroots allies to use a House majority as a bulwark against the flow of American aid money to Ukraine.

"Any new aid package to Ukraine should be thoroughly debated, examined, and voted on in the 118th Congress," they wrote. The organizations represented in the letter include Americans for Prosperity, the Heritage Foundation, FreedomWorks, Conservative Partnership Institute, America First Policy Institute and several groups within the Koch network.The letter specifically targets a potential aid package in the lame-duck session but represents the broader and growing opposition to Ukraine aid embodied by the "America First" foreign policy sentiment promoted by the conservative grassroots.

It argues that sending more aid "disregards the fiscal constraints facing this country," that other NATO allies aren't contributing their fair share and that the Biden administration hasn't set clear enough end goals for the war. "We understand the desire to help the people of Ukraine. They are the victims of a brutal and immoral Russian invasion," it says. "However, do not negate the responsibility of the United States Congress to place American interests first and foremost when shaping U.S. foreign policy.

Praise God!

America first.

We need to figure out where billions of it went after Ukraine Central Bank invested it with FTX. It's irresponsible for the US to continue funding corruption.

AndrewSolender Heinous and dangerous for America and our allies.

Here's a better idea: Help Ukraine kill every Russian soldier on Ukrainian soil.

Conservatives get one point for consistency here; they also tried to hobble the 2020 Trump to Biden transition.

So they can hold Ukraine hostage? Right.

Just like Republicans did with a SCOTUS pick or dozen other lame duck actions Trump and company took.

Sending weapons without efforts towards a diplomatic solution is cruel to the Ukrainian and Russian young men forced to fight in this ridiculous conflict.

Conservative groups = Putinapologists
