On Thursday, McConnell joined Fox News to discuss the need to send billions to President Volodymyr Zelesky. Dana Perino, News anchor, asked McConnell about Biden&#8217;s ability to convince the public that he has a plan for the economy. McConnell used the opportunity to present his own pitch.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, I\u2019m gonna try to help explain to the American people that defeating the Russians in Ukraine is the single most important event going on in the world right now,\u201d McConnell was quick to respond. \u201cIt will save us an enormous amount of money down the road if the Ukrainians can succeed. They\u2019re not asking us for any personnel, they\u2019re asking us for financial help.\u201d<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">NEW \u2013 McConnell: &#8220;Defeating the Russians in Ukraine is the single most important event going on in the world right now.&#8221;<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/H8RkVKAhno\">pic.twitter.com\/H8RkVKAhno<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Disclose.tv (@disclosetv) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/disclosetv\/status\/1626246362030301184?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 16, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The senior Bluegrass State senator praised Europe for their efforts, such as taking in millions of refugees, while arguing that the total cost is relatively small compared to America\u2019s gross domestic product.<\/p>\n<p>McConnell had some concerns about the way Biden handled this matter. He thinks the White House hasn\u2019t moved quickly enough nor sent enough money.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere should be bipartisan support for this. My biggest criticism of the president is he seems not to have done enough soon enough,\u201d He added.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The senator attempted to answer Perino\u2019s question by ending his statement by arguing that the war is \u201cimportant.\u201d He didn\u2019t provide any specific reasons why other than saying that it would be more expensive down the road.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, perhaps a bigger question is why isn\u2019t the United States forcing a peace treaty between Ukraine and Russia. Perino pointed out that the American military is warning that the U.S. puts its defense at risk by decreasing our supplies.<\/p>\n<p>McConnell\u2019s stance is that it is all worth it. Biden states that he would like to support Ukraine. \u201cas long as it takes.\u201d Both men forget that the longer we continue this, the more people will die and closer we get to World War III.<\/p>\n<p>Ukraine tried multiple times to get NATO countries to join its ranks. Ukraine claimed Russia had attacked a Polish village, which ended up killing a civilian. It would have been an attack upon a NATO ally. The truth was that Ukraine was responsible. Last week, Ukraine was also at fault. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/02\/10\/world\/europe\/russia-missile-romania-moldova-ukraine.html\">Claim<\/a> A Russian missile had entered Romanian airspace. Romania quickly responded and claimed that nothing of the sort had happened.<\/p>\n<p>Only a few American politicians are calling for peace at the moment, including former President Donald Trump, Senator J.D. Vance (R.OH), and Florida Reps. Matt Gaetz <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RepLuna\/status\/1625526890181033985?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Anna Paulina Luna<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The Washington establishment is not taking their suggestions seriously, despite public support for ending the war. Even if you want to continue supporting Ukraine, no evidence indicates that it\u2019s what the American people care about.<\/p>\n<p>In fact <a href=\"https:\/\/news.gallup.com\/poll\/1675\/most-important-problem.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gallup<\/a>The number one! \u201cnon-economic problem\u201d Right now, Americans are with \u201cthe government\/poor leadership.\u201d Immigration is the second-leading non-economic concern. According to the polling agency, 1% of Americans said that they were concerned about immigration. \u201csituation\u201d Their top concern is Russia.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of the stance one takes on the war \u2014 or the proper ways to end it \u2014 it is not encouraging that The Uniparty is focused on Ukrainians rather than Americans. Although it is not surprising, it is disconcerting to say the least.<\/p>\n<p>For nearly a year now, the GOP Senate leader has made it clear that his main concern is Ukraine \u2014 not America. He made it clear that he was concerned about Ukraine in May. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/good-grief-mcconnell-claims-sending-ukraine-assistance-is-number-one-priority-for-most-republicans\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Submitted<\/a> reporters, \u201cI think we all agree the most important thing going on in the world right now is the war in Ukraine.\u201d In December, he also added: \u201cProviding assistance for Ukrainians to defeat the Russians \u2014 that\u2019s the number one priority for the United States right now, according to most Republicans. That\u2019s how we see the challenges confronting the country at the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Of course, both of those comments make a lot more sense when you realize he is talking about Republicans in D.C. \u2014 not outside The Beltway. With McConnell in charge of the GOP Senate, there is no opposition party to Biden\u2019s foreign policy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Polls indicate that the American public\u2019s support for endless Ukrainian aid is waning and that the issue is not even in the top 10 of most pressing concerns, but that has not stopped Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) from attempting to convince the nation that the ongoing war there is the \u201csingle most important &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":326,"featured_media":124766,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[541],"tags":[6962,4237,3884,14593,18942,4864,5194,6878,7725,6991,6696],"class_list":["post-1851157","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-daily-wire","tag-the","tag-again","tag-americans","tag-beg","tag-differ","tag-event","tag-mcconnell","tag-now","tag-single","tag-ukraine","tag-war"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1851157","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/326"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1851157"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1851157\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/124766"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1851157"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1851157"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1851157"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
