Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) denounced the Senate’s passage of a bill to send $95 billion in aid to Ukraine and Israel as an “abomination” because it had no provisions for securing our border. He added that the 22 Republican Senators who voted for the bill “should be ashamed.”
Poking fun at what he views as an elderly and out-of-touch Senate leadership, Roy observed the following:
“I’ve never seen the nursing home known as the United States Senate work harder than when it comes to spending the American people’s money for foreign wars. That’s what’s going on here. And by the way, is there anything more cynical than having Republicans sitting around defending their votes to send $60 billion to Ukraine, than saying that it will help our defense-industrial base, that that will help American businesses. Since when do we have economic development that is being driven by funding war overseas? . . . [Y]ou cannot fund foreign wars, while our border is wide open and exposed to criminals and lawlessness and terrorists that are coming across the border.”
Rep. Roy says he’s thinking about introducing legislation to rename the state of Texas Ukraine. That, he explained, might be the only way to get adequate funding to control the border.
