Senator Calls Out GOP 'Double Standard' In Criticizing Biden Over Ukraine

[rw]

I'm sorry, Did I just hear a Republican accuse someone else Of playing to the base and grand standing?? The irony and hypocrisy is palpable!!

[daseygz]

The tweet was not to move anyone it was to point out the hypocrite republican that are in position that need to be voted out disgusting

[girldrinkdrunk]

Let's not forget that The GOP backs Putin..for his "strength" and "genius".

[JP-olek]

A republican talking about being dishonest and grandstanding. General rule of thumb. If a GOP is blaming for something, they are blaming them for their actions.

[GratefulHippieChic]

The GOP would criticize their own grandmothers if they thought they could make money on it.

[Ana-bntw]

People get dummer listening to the GOP. Has he not seen the people showing up to comrad 45 rallies? You wouldn't be in the same room with those people much less shake their hand. But, senator sass will be loud and the first to take credit for anything good that Americans receive despite their fight against it

[bobbolan]

The GOP needs a little "favor" before they can commit to voting in any way on any issue. Facts and need and honor be damned.

[jaymehines]

We can't even pass a infrastructure bill here that is very much needed but they can take the time to pass a vote on keeping day light savings time a constant!? WTF

[luigiquerusio]

Democrats should use this talking point constantly. That the Republicans sided with Putin!

[dr.edwardmoskowitz]

CHRIS MURPHY, thank you for your honesty

[lalaw]

If that tweet made people dumber, just imagine what Trump’s did.

[luigiquerusio]

It's a simple calculation on the part of the Republicans. They have to support whoever trump likes. Period. Therefore they have to be on Putin's side

[beachbum]

There Must have been something GOOD FOR AMERICANS in Omnibus Bill, for so many Republicans to vote NO. Maybe like alternative energy, , something that wouldn't LINE THEIR POCKETS!

[floydkizzie]

The republican mice have zero creditability..In the face of the courage shown in Ukraine and thier fear of tweets.. They ought to be ashamed, but the shame is that they are not shamed.

[karynnmackinnon]

Why don’t those republicans that are still supporting democracy pressure the Republican national committee to oust the GQP members by supporting opponents in their districts, denounce chump and certainly get rid of the nut job RNC chair?

[ilwas]

For an Independent voter like me, I will KICK OUT all NO FACTS, NO TRUTH, NO SHAME republitraitor party (R) next to their names. I WILL VOTE FOR ALL BLUE. Vote BLUE while it counts 2022 and 2024.

[frankng]

We need to call senator Ben sasse and tell him shut up and support the president and ukraine 🇺🇦

[emart]

Wow! The GOP are all alike. They make me nauseous. God willing, I will never vote for any republican.

[tonykeo]

So these despicable Republican senators claim that they support the Ukraine aid package but didn't vote for it. Oxymoron.

[dougfraser]

Those Republicans that voted against aid to Ukraine, should show their support for Russia by moving there!
