71 Republicans Who Supported Russia's War On Ukraine In House Resolution This Past Week

Here is a Wonkette treason paraphrase of the resolution, because our treason paraphrases are less boring-er than actual House resolutions, which include almost zero cusses:

WHEREAS Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014 and stole Crimea; and

WHEREAS That's the whole reason Russia was kicked out of the G7 to fuckin' begin with; and

WHEREAS Last time we checked Russia still has its dick planted in Ukraine's dirt and continues to do war to Ukraine; and

WHEREAS Donald Trump will not fucking shut up about how much he wants to let Putin back into the G7, because of how Trump pretty much supports the Russian invasion of Ukraine and "doesn't give a fuck about Ukraine" unless it's investigating the Bidens for him;

THEREFUCKINGFORE the House says nope, not gonna happen, and calls on all the leaders in the G7 to keep Russia out unless Russia 1) leaves Ukraine and 2) stops attacking all the democracies in the world.

Now, in a Democratic-controlled House, on a resolution to continue punishing Russia for its still-ongoing invasion of Ukraine -- the country Trump is being impeached right now for bribing for investigations in exchange for military aid in order to help his 2020 re-election -- the vote was 339-71. Congratulations to the 116 Republicans who did vote for it.


Yet another major issue for battleground Democrats to run on! A vote for Russia is anti-American.

30. Lance Gooden (TX-05)

31. Congressdentist Paul Gosar, whose whole family un-dorsed him for re-election in 2018 (AZ-04)
32. Tom Graves (GA-14). Wow, lots of Georgians here acting as Putin's assets! Of course they'd probably say it's really about "states' rights" or something.

34. Michael Guest (MS-03)
35. Andy Harris (MD-01)

36. Kevin Hern (OK-01)
37. Jody Hice (GA-10)
38. Clay "WHAR BOXES?" Higgins (LA-03)
39. Richard Hudson (NC-08)
40. Jim Jordan (OH-04 and also the Ohio State gym)

41. John Joyce (PA-13)
42. Trent Kelly (MS-01)
43. Steve King (IA-04). To be fair, Russia has a lot of white supremacists, so.
44. Doug LaMalfa (CA-01)
45. Debbie Lesko (AZ-08)

46. Billy Long (MO-07)
47. Barry Loudermilk (GA-11). GEORGIA AGAIN! Goddamn, is Oleg Deripaska building an aluminum plant in Macon or something?
48. Thomas Massie (KY-04). Oleg Deripaska's company is definitely building a plant in Kentucky LOL.
49. Brian Mast (FL-18)
50. Mark Meadows (NC-11). Because of course.

51. Dan Meuser (PA-09)
52. Carol Miller (WV-03)
53. Paul Mitchell (MI-10, not the shampoo guy)

63. Austin Scott (GA-08)
64. Jason Smith (MO-08)
65. Greg Steube (FL-17)

66. Chris Stewart (UT-02). You'll remember him as one of the single most obnoxious and stupid Republicans in the Intel Committee impeachment hearings. He also thinks it's super-cool for Trump to accept foreign interference in elections. GOOD MORMON BOY, THAT ONE.
67. William Timmons (SC-04)
68. Randy Weber (TX-14)
69. Rob Woodall (GA-07) Another Georgia!
70. Ted Yoho (FL-03)

71. Lee Zeldin (NY-01). Because of fucking course.

Democratic Senator Chris Murphy joked last night on Maddow that maybe they just want some of that sweet sexxxy Russian election interference for themselves. Or maybe they're just selling out America, because that's the Republican thing to do these days.

don’t understand why Republicans have decided Putin/Russia is our friend. In the past they called them our enemy and that liberals were communist. Guess they just want approval from dear leader.

ally with a country whose sole goal is to control the West, if not smash it.

Until their usefulness is over.

The creep corruption of Washingtongrad is creepy.
