Mitch McConell says the quiet part out loud.

Exact full quote from CNN:

“People think, increasingly it appears, that we shouldn’t be doing this. Well, let me start by saying we haven’t lost a single American in this war,” McConnell said. “Most of the money that we spend related to Ukraine is actually spent in the US, replenishing weapons, more modern weapons. So it’s actually employing people here and improving our own military for what may lie ahead.”

    Mitch McConell says the quiet part out loud.

    And why shouldn’t he?

    Not a single lib will change their minds after hearing this.

      Are liberals generally opposed to supporting Ukraine? What opinion are they not going to change?

        Opposed? Liberals are fully on board with endless war in Ukraine. It’s a bipartisan consensus.

            Your question was: Are liberals generally opposed to supporting Ukraine?

            The answer is no. I dunno what to tell you.

          This thread is evidence of it. The quiet part gets shouted and rather than accepting that this is what MLs have been saying for two years, the libs are doubling down. Will they now accept the truth behind the quip, ‘To the last Ukrainian?’ Not a chance. Oblivious.
