Astonished . . . by this Texas Republican. 5:09p et CNN. Ranking Republican on

the House Foreign Affairs Committee.

Interiewed by Tapper, Rep. McCaul, sounded very reasonable, knowledgeable, and supportive of Biden policy - about the Ukraine crisis, and linked the foreign affairs problems in North Korea, China, putin's current and future ambitions.

A Republican! Wow!
