Watch: Top Democrat Chuck Schumer Cheers on Mike Johnson, Thanks Him for Pushing Ukraine Aid

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson’s fall from grace continues.

On Tuesday, Democratic Senate Majority leader Chuck Schumer took to the Senate floor to thank Johnson for his assistance in the passage of a $95 billion-dollar foreign aid package of bills in the House over the weekend.

The Senate passed the foreign aid package on Tuesday night, sending it to President Joe Biden for signing, CNN reported.

Schumer said during his statements, “I thank Speaker Johnson, who rose to the occasion. In his own words, [he] said he had to do the right thing despite the enormous political pressure on him.”

Schumer continued, “And let me say this once again about my friend the Republican leader. We are of one mind to get this bill done. It was our bipartisanship, our linking of arms together that got this large and difficult bill through the Congress despite many political idealogues who wanted to bring it down.”

The package of bills provides aid to Ukraine, Taiwan and Israel.

According to The New York Times, Ukraine will receive $60.8 billion in aid, $26.4 billion will go to Israel and aid for Palestinians in Gaza, and $8.1 billion will go to Taiwan and other allies in efforts to counter China.

Do you think Mike Johnson should be removed as speaker?

The bill for aid to Ukraine passed with 210 Democrats and 101 Republicans.

The divide among Republicans was vast concerning aid to Ukraine as 112 voted no.

News of Johnson’s support of foreign aid is disheartening and truly disillusioning.

There seems to be not a single inkling of hope left that he will harness the power of the speakership appropriately to address the real issues the American people care about.

We have rampant inflation and a border crisis on our hands as millions of illegals pour into the country, break the law, and receive support without contributing to society.

Are the affairs of Europe, the middle east, and Asia truly the most pressing matters for our country?

Billions have been sent again and again to Ukraine to fund a foreign war, but with that money, the border could have been closed several times over.

Johnson’s time as speaker is breeding results, but they’re the ones the leftists like Schumer want — not conservatives.


A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:

 

“We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.” Those 12 words have been stuck in my head since I first read them. 

 

Former Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn recently made that comment to Floyd Brown, founder of The Western Journal. 

 

And if the leftists and the elites get their way, that’s exactly what will happen — no real election, no real choice for the Electoral College, and no real say for the American people. 

 

The Western Journal is fighting to keep that from happening, but we can’t do it alone.

 

We work tirelessly to expose the lying leftist media and the corrupt America-hating elites.

 

But Big Tech’s stranglehold is now so tight that without help from you, we will not be able to continue the fight. 

 

The 2024 election is literally the most important election for every living American. We have to unite and fight for our country, otherwise we will lose it. And if we lose the America we love in 2024, we’ll lose it for good. Can we count on you to help? 

 

With you we will be able to field journalists, do more investigative work, expose more corruption, and get desperately needed truth to millions of Americans. 

 

We can do this only with your help. Please don’t wait one minute. Donate right now.
