CNS News– Former Representative Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) recently emphasized the significance of prioritizing aid to Ukraine over political positions, asserting that it would be justifiable for Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) to sacrifice his Speakership in the pursuit of passing a bill supporting Ukraine.
Cheney’s remarks came during an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union,” where she urged Johnson to bring a Ukraine aid bill to the House floor, despite potential backlash from conservative Republicans. The Senate had already passed a bill approving funding for Ukraine, which Johnson had previously rejected.
Cheney stressed the urgency of the situation in Ukraine, emphasizing the need for American leadership in the face of escalating conflict and humanitarian crises. The bipartisan Senate bill encompasses various allocations, including $60 billion for Ukraine, $14 billion in security assistance to Israel, $9 billion in humanitarian aid for Gaza, the West Bank, and Ukraine, as well as $4.8 billion to deter Chinese aggression in the Indo-Pacific region.
