Watch: Democratic Rep. Gerald Connolly Says Ukraine’s Border ‘Is Our Border’ in America Last Speech

Just in case anyone was wondering whose interests Democrats in Congress believe they were elected to represent, Democratic Rep. Gerald Connolly of Virginia made sure no one was left with any doubt.

While making an argument for the funding of Ukraine aid on the House floor on Saturday, the congressman made this shocking statement:

“Some say, ‘Well, we have to deal with our border first.’ The Ukrainian-Russian border is our border.

“It’s the border between depraved autocracy and freedom-loving people seeking our democratic way of life!” Connolly declared. “Do we have a stake in that outcome? Yes. Undeniably, yes.”

Rewind to 2017 when then-President Trump requested a relatively modest $1.6 billion for border wall funding between the U.S. and Mexico, as CNN reported at the time.

Connolly, who is now in his eighth-term representing Virginia’s 11th Congressional District, just outside the nation’s capital, vehemently opposed the proposal at the time, calling it an “ill-conceived” idea.

In a statement on Aug. 25, 2017, the Virginia Democrat wrote, “The President promised that Mexico was going to pay for his wall. That was a lie. Now, he is willing to threaten another Republican shutdown that will hurt millions of Americans who rely on the federal government for everything from social security [sic] and veterans benefits to Medicare and Medicaid claims. It is cruel politics at its worst.”

Should the United States stop sending aid to Ukraine?

Apparently, Connolly felt it was unfair to use taxpayer money to pay for a wall to protect our own borders to the tune of $1.6 billion, but is now perfectly happy to protect Ukraine’s borders to the tune of $61 billion — the amount of the Ukraine-aid package the House passed on Saturday.

And that’s on top of the $75 billion we have already sent the country smaller than the state of Texas.

In response to Connolly’s comment, conservative Republican Rep. Ralph Norman of South Carolina wrote, “This has got to be a joke!!! This is offensive to all Americans.”

Connolly may have said the quiet part out loud, but the behavior of House Democrats when the bill was passed — waving the flag of a foreign country on the House floor — showed that he is not alone in the way he thinks.

For Democrats to obstruct every attempt to secure our own border while fighting to protect the borders of another nation takes a breathtaking kind of brazenness.

But for those same Democrats to cheer and wave the flag of a foreign nation after giving away billions of taxpayer dollars entrusted to them takes their shamelessness to another level.

If you believe the Ukrainian border is your border, then you are not American — you are Ukrainian.

Democrats need to decide which country their allegiance lies with.

On the other hand, the flags they were waving in the House have already given us the answer.


A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:

 

I heard a chilling comment the other day: “We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.” 

 

That wasn’t said by a conspiracy theorist or a doomsday prophet. No, former U.S. national security advisor Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn said that to the founder of The Western Journal, Floyd Brown.

 

Gen. Flynn’s warning means that the 2024 election is the most important election for every single living American. If we lose this one to the wealthy elites who hate us, hate God, and hate what America stands for, we can only assume that 248 years of American history and the values we hold dear to our hearts may soon vanish.

 

The end game is here, and as Benjamin Franklin said, “We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.”

 

All of this means that without you, it’s over. We have the platform, the journalists, and the experience to fight back hard, but Big Tech is strangling us through advertising blacklists, shadow bans, and algorithms. Did you know that we’ve been blacklisted by 90% of advertisers? Without direct support from you, our readers, we can’t continue the fight.

 

Can we count on your support? It may not seem like much, but a Western Journal Membership can make all the difference in the world because when you support us directly, you cut Big Tech out of the picture. They lose control. 

 

A monthly Western Journal Membership costs less than one coffee and breakfast sandwich each month, and it gets you access to ALL of our content — news, commentary, and premium articles. You’ll experience a radically reduced number of ads, and most importantly you will be vitally supporting the fight for America’s soul in 2024.

 

We are literally counting on you because without our members, The Western Journal would cease to exist. Will you join us in the fight? 

 

Sincerely,

Josh Manning

Deputy Managing Editor

The Western Journal
