Burchett: ‘We’re close to a government shutdown and Biden drops this bombshell’

President Joe Biden’s administration is expected to announce yet another billion-dollar aid package to Ukraine, and Rep. Tim Burchett is not happy.

Under the Biden administration, Ukraine has received upwards of $60B in military aid, which earned the president a fair amount of criticism from the right. Many believe that Americans are suffering too much at home to let so many taxpayer dollars be sent overseas. Now, Biden is using the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI) to justify sending $1.2B to the country.

Sources reportedly told Reuters that the package is expected to include “air defense interceptors and artillery ammunition.”

Burchett reposted the announcement on X, reminding Americans that their own government is on the verge of a shutdown, and this is what is at the top of the administration’s priority list.

Another X user used a video to draw a stark contrast between the Ukrainians receiving billions of US tax dollars, and American hurricane victims who continue to suffer as winter sets in.

5 days before Christmas as Hurricane Victims are suffering…they’re sending another $1,200,000,000.00 to Ukraine.

So Biden doesn’t need Congress to send $ to Ukraine but he does need Congress to send it to North Carolina?

Biden is about to give $1.2 BILLION more to Ukraine before he walks out the door.

This is textbook treason.

Shutting down the government while still giving Ukraine 1.2 billion dollars would certainly be on brand for the Biden administration. America last! https://t.co/38JNNb3Aq5

Why is Biden sending 1.2 billion dollars to Ukraine? We are going to be bankrupt before January 20th. This is why I struggle so much with forgiving people who blindly support this administration.
