OPINION:
The Republican Freedom Caucus members who are demanding Ukraine-aid defunding as a condition of their agreement to a budget are showing a lack of purpose and moral character. They are also helping the Democrats by turning off the Republican-supported funding required for a Republican president and House and Senate majority.
No government is more corrupt than the Biden administration. Russia launched an unprovoked attack on Ukraine, and President Biden’s slow walk on essential aid has resulted in too many innocent civilian deaths.
Rather than defunding that aid, the focus should be on ending the Biden-sponsored illegal immigrant invasion with its enormous costs. Those billions of taxpayer dollars should be used for the needy who are here legally, as well as critical medical shortages, keeping our rural hospitals open and fixing important infrastructure.
These Republicans must end their nonsensical obstructionism.
