Here are the Republicans who backed Biden’s Forever War & Ignored our border
After weeks of infighting among Republicans, the U.S. House of Representatives on Saturday passed by a vote of 311-112 a spending package that included $60.8 billion in aid for Ukraine. That bill could not have passed without the help of 101 Republicans teaming up with House Democrats to push the measure through.

Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) tapped into the anger and frustration felt by many as they watched members of Congress triumphantly wave Ukrainian flags in the House chamber following passage of the bill.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has been under intense pressure from member of his own party to stop forcing American taxpayers to pick a side in a conflict thousands of miles away that has nothing to do with them.
The Speaker appears willing to risk his speakership for promoting foreign aid schemes that do nothing to protect or secure the American Homeland while adding to an already out of control national debt.
Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has not backed away from her threatened Motion to Vacate the Speaker’s position, confirming in an interview Sunday morning that Johnson’s choices are to resign or be vacated.
Greene told Fox News host Maria Bartiromo, “He needs to do the right thing, to resign and allow us to move forward in a controlled process. If he doesn’t do so, he will be vacated.”

While the 112 Republicans who voted against the aid package are facing criticism, the Democrats and Republicans who are cheering on the war in Ukraine aren’t off the hook just yet. They may yet face accountability from voters who are struggling to get by economically while their government dishes out billions of dollars in foreign aid boondoggles.
And those with a conscience may have to cope with the hundreds of thousands of individuals who needlessly suffered and died while they cheered and waved flags.
