Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on Tuesday celebrated the impending passage of $60 billion in U.S. aid to Ukraine ahead of a final vote, while lamenting the fact that it took months to secure enough Republican support to land it, NBC News reports.
Said McConnell: The demonization of Ukraine began by Tucker Carlson, who in my opinion ended up where he should have been all along, which is interviewing Vladimir Putin. And so he had an enormous audience, which convinced a lot of rank and file Republicans that maybe this was a mistake.
He added: I think the former president had sort of mixed views
which requires you to deal with Democrats, and then a number of our members thought it wasnt good enough. And then our nominee for president didnt seem to want us to do anything at all. That took months to work our way through it.
