And here is our hypocritical representative, David McKinley, on the Ukraine
McKinley praises Trump and criticizes Biden
By contrast, President Trump projected American strength, preventing Putin from taking the actions we are seeing today.

Some quick history
2016 - Trump campaign works to block giving weapons to Ukraine to fight Russian forces from GOP platform

2019 - Trump orders military aid withheld from Ukraine
2022 - Trump praises Putin's invasion of Ukraine
McKinley: “A partisan attack”
And how did McKinley react to Trump’s attempt to bribe the Ukraine in 2019 in order to get dirt on Biden’s son?
"Speaker Pelosi’s call for impeachment is just another partisan attack on President Trump,” McKinley, of the 1st District, said in a statement issued Tuesday.
And the result?
Ukraine has fewer weapons today because Donald Trump tried to extort Ukrainian President Zelensky rather than helping him. This was exactly what Trump and Putin intended. Never forget that.

And has McKinley ever criticized Trump on the Ukraine?
I could find no McKinley criticism of Trump on any of this:
Trump withheld $400 million of military aid from Ukraine amid an on
going war between Kremlin-backed rebels and Ukrainian troops (while pressuring Zelensky to smear Biden). And he’s repeatedly praised Putin, habitually exhibiting a reluctance to challenge the Russian leader. https://t.co/QTC1yvQ8HY— John Haltiwanger (@jchaltiwanger) February 27, 20222016 - Trump campaign works to block giving weapons to Ukraine to fight Russian forces from GOP platform

Republican strategist, Jeff Timmer, summarizes this very well
Every GOPer talking tough today is in reality an abject chickenshit afraid of a gibbering moron like Donald Trump. None defended the United States from attack. Most participated in it. Their puffed-up rhetorical defense of Ukraine is hollow. Every. Single. One. Is. A. Coward.
