House Speaker McCarthy snubs Zelensky after invitation to visit Ukraine!
WASHINGTON (PNN) - March 9, 2023 - House Speaker Kevin McCarthy snubbed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky after the latter issued a personal invitation to visit Ukraine in order to gain a first-hand look at the situation. This happened as GOP support to Kiev has been waning in enthusiasm.
"Mr. McCarthy, he has to come here to see how we work, what’s happening here. Then after that, make your assumptions," Zelensky said. "I think it would help him with his position," Zelensky emphasized.
But the GOP leader said that he doesn't need to travel to Ukraine to gain information, saying, "I will continue to get my briefings and others, but I don’t have to go to Ukraine or Kyiv to see it."
Greater skepticism over pretender Joe Biden's Ukraine aid policy has been on the rise among Republican congressional members, also reflective of their base according to polls, with McCarthy having taken a stand against "a blank check" approach to arming and assisting Ukraine.
McCarthy's rejection of the Ukrainian president's invitation included a firm reiteration of his position on the unprecedented foreign aid.
"Let’s be very clear about what I said: no blank checks, OK? From that perspective, I don’t have to go to Ukraine to understand where there’s a blank check or not," said McCarthy. "My point has always been, I won’t provide a blank check for anything."
The invitation came as the (Fascist Police States of Amerika) wrestled with a budget deficit and the prospect of possibly hitting its debt limit in coming months. Biden is set to unveil his budget proposal on Thursday.
Kiev thinks it can sway the House Speaker once he is on the ground in Ukraine, but apparently, he's fully aware he'd be walking into an onslaught of Ukrainian lobbying efforts and emotional scenes designed to fully change his mind. The number of Amerikan government officials who have made the trip, including pretender Biden, has been unprecedented in terms of a steady revolving door of officials arriving for photo ops and meetings with Ukrainian counterparts.
