Here are nine examples of how he opposed and contradicted conservatives between 2010-2012:<\/p>\n<p class=\"a8d-pre\"><strong>1) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2022\/12\/20\/mitch-mcconnell-aiding-ukraine-number-one-priority-for-republicans\/\">McConnell Gave Ukraine $45 Billion in Aid<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p class=\"a8d-pre\">In December, McConnell worked with Democrats to pass the $1.7 trillion omnibus bill, which included $45 billion worth of American taxpayers\u2019 money designated for Ukraine. The $45 billion is in addition to the $66 billion of taxpayers\u2019 money American lawmakers had already approved for Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"a8d-pre\">\u201cProviding assistance for Ukrainians to defeat the Russians is the number one priority for the United States right now according to most Republicans. That\u2019s sort of how we see the challenges confronting the country at the moment,\u201d McConnell claimed.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_22908143\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Volodymyr-Zelensky-with-Mitch-McConnell.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-22908143\" style=\"display: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Volodymyr-Zelensky-with-Mitch-McConnell.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>U.S. Senate Minority leader Mitch McConnell (R.KY) meets President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zilensky when he arrives at a joint meeting in Washington, DC on December 21, 2022.

Because it funded the whole fiscal year, House Republicans opposed the Omnibus Bill. Alternatives to the omnibus bill were offered by House Republicans. This would allow them more input following the January election of the Republican House majority.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_22914323\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/media.breitbart.com\/media\/2022\/12\/Rand-Paul-and-omnibus-bill.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-22914323\" src=\"https:\/\/media.breitbart.com\/media\/2022\/12\/Rand-Paul-and-omnibus-bill.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Rand Paul (Republican from Kentucky) points to a cart that contains a printed copy FY 2023 of federal omnibus funding legislation.

This was done in order for Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-AK, to remain 21-year incumbent. Murkowski defeated Tshibaka in November with the help of this money.<\/p>\n<p>McConnell&#8217;s attack on fellow Republican Tshibaka was censured by the Alaska Republican Party in October.
