The White House on Wednesday downplayed CNN polling showing most Americans oppose Congress providing additional funding to support Ukraine in its war with Russia ahead of a reported administration request for more aid.

Mitch McConell says the quiet part out loud.

Exact full quote from CNN:

“People think, increasingly it appears, that we shouldn’t be doing this. Well, let me start by saying we haven’t lost a single American in this war,” McConnell said. “Most of the money that we spend related to Ukraine is actually spent in the US, replenishing weapons, more modern weapons. So it’s actually employing people here and improving our own military for what may lie ahead.”

    I don’t support Russia invading, just so we’re clear.

    Then why are you using Russia’s talking points?

      Do you agree there is a difference between “reasons” and “justifications”?

      I think Russia’s reasons for invading are real and must acknowledged to end the war. I don’t think those reasons justify the war.

      Get it?
