McCaul’s balance: assure Ukraine on aid while appeasing GOP demands to end ‘blank check’
McCaul said on ABC he’s optimistic that majorities in the House and Senate remain committed to providing whatever Ukraine needs as winter looms.
“Oligarchs in Ukraine are getting enriched off of our taxpayer dollars, because we’re just dumping money, like truckloads of money,” Rep. Chip Roy, R-Austin, one of the Texans who opposed the aid package, toldUkraine seeks more help as growing GOP skepticism casts doubt on future U.S. aid “These guys on the other team don’t get it,” he told Democrats in Philadelphia a few weeks before the elections. “It’s a lot bigger than Ukraine. It’s Eastern Europe. It’s NATO. It’s real serious, serious, consequential outcomes. They have no sense of American foreign policy.”“I’m rooting for Ukraine,” freshman Rep. Pat Fallon, R-Sherman, told constituents at an August town hall.
“Crimea is not part of Russia under international law. So if they can hit into Crimea, that’s fair game,” McCaul said. “If we give them what they need, they win. If we don’t, it’s going to be a long, protracted war.”
