• Fox News host Tucker Carlson said Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky is “shaking down our cowardly Congress for more cash,” in response to a clip of the president asking for $38 billion to cover the nation’s budget deficit, $17 billion to rebuild “critical infrastructure,” and funds to supply Ukraine’s energy needs.
• “What? Some uppity foreigner in a t-shirt demanding money for his critical economic needs? We have critical economics too buddy. Who are you, troll? Go away. Since when does that guy have a claim on our treasury?” Carlson said.
• “We don’t owe this guy anything, not one thing. Good luck, pal. That’s it. And as our economy degrades and our border is gone, that guy is lecturing us with some Christmas list, like ‘I want this, that and I want a bicycle too! Send it, quick!’ Really? Up yours, buddy,” he added.
• Since Russia invaded in February, the U.S. has sent more than twice as much aid to Ukraine as Europe, totaling more than $17 billion worth.
