By Emily Singer -March 7, 2022 4:52 PM
Hundreds of people have died as Russian strongman Vladimir Putin continues his invasion of Ukraine.
A large faction of far-right-wing Republicans in Congress sent a letter to GOP leadership on Friday demanding they delay efforts to deliver military and humanitarian aid to Ukraine, which is currently under attack by the Russian military on orders from President Vladimir Putin.
The Biden administration has requested $10 billion to aid Ukraine, where, according to the United Nations, more than 400 civilians have died and from which 1.7 million people have fled since Russian forces invaded the Eastern European nation on Feb. 24.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy implored the United States to send more aid in a private Zoom meeting with members of Congress on Saturday. Congressional Democrats want to include the funding in a spending bill that must pass by Friday in order to avert a government shutdown.

Yepper the "Freedom Caucus" has all that empathy they want to share with the US and the world.......maybe they should spend 12 days in a war zone.....and then get back to us.... .

Can't they even come up with an original playbook? Scarcely an original thinker in the lot! Or thinker at all, come to think of it.

PLEASE, THINK OF THE CHILDREN!
And, you know, the mothers, fathers, grandmothers, grandfathers etc. etc. etc. Being good christians and all, you wouldn't want them murdered either, right?
I guess Putin takes preference over Jebus in their good, christian, Trumpublican hearts.
