Relevant Statements

  • “Russia needs to be checked, and Ukraine needs to be helped, but not like this. As taxpayers, you deserve better from your Congress on deliberations and accountability for your money being spent instead of a sham process and a blank check to the President from a supposed coequal branch of government.”

  • “So they’re basically in a World War I trench warfare state right now in western Ukraine, and they’re wanting $65 billion in funding. … We need to know what money is going where before we give another dime.”
