No question that “traditional” Republicans, especially the never-Trumpers, are with President Biden on U.S. support for Ukraine and against Russian President Vladimir Putin’s military invasion of the country. After all, when 57 House Republicans and 11 GOP senators voted against last April’s $11.7-billion package of additional aid to Ukraine, that left 155 House Republicans and 39 GOP senators who voted in-favor.
But the MAGA wing that still dominates the party remains ambivalent, at best, toward Zelenskyy, who as Ukraine’s newly elected president in 2019 was asked by then-President Trump in his “perfect call” to help find dirt on future First Son Hunter Biden. More recently, just last August, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbån, the sole NATO nation ally to Putin and a fierce critic of Zelenskyy addressed the Conservative Political Action Conference in Dallas.
The MAGA-right have been relatively quiet on Putin since. We want to know your take, especially from those of you on the right. What are your thoughts on Russian President Vladimir Putin’s bellicose speech announcing a “partial military call-up”? Is it time for all American conservatives to back Ukraine against Russia?
While we’ve got you here, what about the special master, Judge Raymond Dearie’s indication he will not carry the water for former President Trump on classified documents seized from Mar-a-Lago?
