Despite protests from members of his party, House Speaker Johnson paved the way for several aid packages to get passed. The House passed bills to provide billions of U.S. tax dollars for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan.
A bill to provide additional security for the border has not been passed.
Soon after the Ukraine bill passed, Democrats began celebrating. They were chanting “Ukraine!” and waving Ukrainian flags on the House floor. It was an unbelievable display that had many Americans shocked. And Speaker Johnson was on hand to quickly put them in their place.
From Daily Wire:
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) slammed Democrats Saturday afternoon for flying Ukraine flags on the House floor following a vote to send military aid to the European country…“I just want to say simply what I think most people around the country understand and agree — we should only wave one flag on the House floor and I think we know which flag that is.”
House Speaker Mike Johnson called Democrats’ waving Ukrainian flags in the middle of Congress a “disturbance.” He said that congressmen should “only wave one flag on the House floor,” referring to the American flag.
It was an odd move for Democrats to showcase allegiance to another country, right in the middle of America’s legislature. We know that Biden seems obsessed with sending money to Ukraine. Many wonder at why he is so determined to protect Ukraine when America’s border is under attack.
Biden has been funding Ukraine’s war with Russia for two years; yet he threatened to pull funding for Israel—despite a long-standing alliance with the Jewish nation that spans decades.
It seems Democrats share Biden’s bizarre obsession with Ukraine. House Democrats appear to be prioritizing the welfare of that nation ahead of the United States. Inflation continues to rage, the border remains open, crime is driving people out of blue cities, and fears abound over terrorism.
Yet Democrats are giddy that Congress is giving away $60 billion to a foreign nation to continue a shockingly destructive war.
Key Takeaways:
- Speaker Johnson rebuked Democrats for waving Ukraine flags in Congress.
- He said only one flag should be waved on the House floor.
- This came after the House voted to send more billions to Ukraine.
