Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) expressed his displeasure with House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) over his three foreign aid bills.
According to Donalds, these three aren’t different from the Senate’s previous failed legislation. The Florida representative appeared on Fox Business’s“I think that this bill is essentially the Senate package just chopped up into three so members can vote for each package, but then they’re going to merge them back together and send it to the Senate. Well, that’s just the Senate deal right there,” Donalds said.
“Not to mention what’s happened to the inner cities in our country that are overrun, and that are overwhelmed, by this illegal immigrant crisis created by Joe Biden and his administration,” Donalds added. The Florida congressman also took issue with the loan covenant written into the aid bill regarding Ukraine. This bill provides $61 billion in aid to the country two years into its war with Russia. However, $50 million will go toward replacing weaponry and ammunition in the U.S. after giving it to Ukraine.
“When you read the text, 50% of the proceeds can be forgiven by Joe Biden this November. That’s not a loan, Maria. That is — that’s foolishness. You’re basically telling us all we’re going to have Ukraine pay us back, but when you read the actual text, you see that that’s not going to happen,” Donalds said. “I was a banker before I was a politician, Maria. We would never write a loan covenant like that in the real world, but that happens far too often in Washington.
Should these bills pass, Congress will still have the ability to veto Biden’s forgiveness on the loans.
