Relevant Statements

  • “We should support the Ukrainian people in their fight for freedom while also making sure we spend taxpayer funds with accountability. Democrats’ recent bill was 40 billion taxpayer dollars – billions more than the entire U.S. Department of Justice budget. We need reasonable support to Ukraine — not another spending bonanza that will lead to further inflation.”
