Republican Party Coddles Extremists Who Side With Putin

57 Republicans side with Putin, vote against essential aid for Ukraine

Last night, the House took decisive action, approving additional funding to Ukraine to help bolster its defense against Russian aggression. 57 Republicans voted ‘NO’.

57 Republicans voted in favor of authoritarian Russia over a democracy fighting to defend itself. These members are part of the same Republican Party that wants to chair committees and set legislative priorities – the stakes of the House majority are clear.

DCCC spokesperson Chris Taylor: 
“GOP leaders’ willingness to coddle members like these clearly shows they are willing to fold to dangerous extremism and are unfit to lead.”
