JD Vance calls Speaker Johnson’s Ukraine remarks ‘concerning’

BY NICK ROBERTSON - 10/27/23 1:32 PM ET

Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) is criticizing newly elected House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) for comments suggesting Johnson could support additional U.S. support for Ukraine.

“To his great credit, the new Speaker has been a stalwart on the Ukraine issue — voting consistently against an endless conflict with no plan from the Biden administration,” Vance said on X, formerly Twitter. “It’s concerning to see him change his tune so quickly after being elevated to this role.”

Vance’s comments come after Johnson, in an interview with Fox News’s Sean Hannity, stopped well short of ruling out additional support for Ukraine.

Johnson, who has voted against aid packages to Ukraine in the past, said the U.S. should not allow Russia to win the war, but Republicans needed to make sure any U.S. support was accounted for.

1. JD Vance is such an *uppity* right-wing loony

Ever since he got elected as a right-wing loony to the Senate, he's been trying to act like he's better than those right wing loonies who merely got elected to the House. Seems to me that boy's getting too big for his britches.
