Is Josh Hawley working for Putin? "On aid to Ukraine, sharp Republican dividing lines take shape"

Exactly one year to the day after the GOP lawmaker issued that statement, Hawley’s interest in “strong American resolve” appeared to waver. He published a tweet on Friday that read:

“The Republican Party can be the party of Ukraine and globalists* or the party of East Palestine and working Americans. Not both.”

The missive was apparently well received by Fox News: Hawley was invited onto Tucker Carlson’s program on Friday night, where he repeated the message, practically word for word.

The GOP senator’s message came just two days after Donald Trump made a public appearance in East Palestine, Ohio, and appeared to criticize U.S. aid to Ukraine, saying he hopes, after we assist our allies against Russia’s invasion, that there’s “some money left over” to help East Palestine after its train derailment disaster.

* Globalists is just another way of saying "the Jews."

It does not matter if he executes instructions or acts wholly on his own volition or even on genuine conviction, he does act towards the furtherance of Kremlin objectives.

Their mouths lie constantly, I find it hard to understand how anyone could adhere to such a mindset. I guess if one has a conscience it would be difficult to evaluate that perspective.

A dumb zero-sum political contrarian like so many of them? Ask him if we should have stayed out of WWI and WWII because they didn't take place entirely within U.S. borders.
