PUTIN PAL RAND PAUL IS TRYING TO DELAY UKRAINE AID VOTE

PUTIN PAL RAND PAUL IS TRYING TO DELAY UKRAINE AID VOTE

"SNIP..........

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) is telling reporters that he wants to delay the vote on aid to Ukraine for as long as possible.

.........

Sen. Rand Paul says he wants to drag out a vote on foreign aid as long as possible.

“The longer it takes them, the better. And I’ve told them that if they’re going to make us come back next week then we might as well be here the whole time.”

...........

Sen. Paul’s statement is the most blatantly pro-Russia stance imaginable. Ukraine needs the aid right away. It is an emergency situation, so Paul wants to slow walk everything. This means that even if the House speeds through the bill and passes it quickly, Paul is going to use all of the procedural delay tactics at his disposal to make the Senate jump through hoops, so that aid won’t get to President Biden’s desk until potentially later next week.
