Nancy Mace defends GOP as ‘pro-America,’ not ‘pro-Russia’ amidst Ukraine aid criticism
House Republicans Reject Accusations of Supporting Russia in Ukraine War
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) firmly denies the claim that House Republicans are backing Russia in its conflict with Ukraine, asserting that her party is unequivocally “pro-America.”
The South Carolina congresswoman’s statement comes amidst allegations that House Republicans are withholding financial aid for Ukraine, which has been engaged in a war with Russia since late February 2022. Mace counters these accusations by highlighting that Congress has already provided over $100 billion in aid to Ukraine. She further argues that the Democratic Party is deflecting attention from its own failures by accusing their Republican counterparts of neglecting Ukraine.
“But this is what the Left does; they don’t want to talk about policy and Biden’s failed mission in Ukraine; they want to say Republicans are pro-Putin and pro-Russia when nothing could be further from the truth. What we really are is pro-America, our citizens, and our national security.”
Mace also criticizes President Joe Biden and Democratic lawmakers for their lack of clarity regarding the United States’ objective in the Ukraine-Russia conflict. She argues that simply providing financial aid to Ukraine is not a sustainable solution and urges both the president and Congress to devise a comprehensive strategy to resolve the war.
Furthermore, Mace expresses concern over the prioritization of other nations’ needs over those of the United States. She specifically calls attention to the “invasion” at the Southern border and emphasizes the importance of addressing this issue and safeguarding national security before allocating further aid to Ukraine.
“That should be the No. 1 priority of Joe Biden and this administration, full stop,” Mace asserts.
Amidst the delay in providing aid to Ukraine, White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby warns that Russian President Vladimir Putin sees an opportunity to exploit Ukraine’s lack of assistance, aiming to bring the country to its knees.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) made an unexpected visit to Ukraine on Friday to reaffirm the United States’ support. Schumer pledges to continue fighting for Ukraine to receive the crucial funding it desperately needs and deserves.
