President Joe Biden seized on comments from several Republicans Including House GOP Leader,Kevin McCarthy,calling into question future Ukraine aid, framing the position as undermining the US role and leadership in an increasingly volatile world.
You heard what they said today? Biden asked at a fundraiser in Philadelphia for Senate candidate John Fetterman, according to the press pool.
They said that if they win, they’re not likely to help continue to fund Ukraine, the Ukrainian war against the Russians. These guys don’t get it. It’s a lot bigger than Ukraine .It’s Eastern Europe, it’s NATO. It’s real,It’s serious.
Serious consequential outcomes. They have no sense of American foreign policy.
Biden sought to broaden the implications for Republican opposition or reluctance, tying it to palpable concerns from allies after former President Donald Trump’s four years in office that the US was receding from its role in the world.
Biden noted it was something that raised the stakes for the midterm elections even further, and explicitly tied in the January 6th attack on the US Capitol and the GOP’s response as an element driving anxiety for allies.
These guys on the other team don’t get it. They don’t get it that how America does is going to determine how the rest of the world does.
He further more said, according to the pool,They look to us as a leader. They look to us because they’re not as big or as powerful.
The President also repeated his story about how at his first G7 meeting when he said he told leaders that America’s back and one of the other heads of state turned to me and said,For how long?.
On the January 6th insurrection, Biden said that it was a bunch of thugs who attacked the United States Capitol, continuing.
Then they come along and they’re called patriots and heroes.
The rest of the world is looking at this election as well, both the good guys and the bad guys out there to see what, they want to see,what is going to happen.Biden said, according to the pool.
