Republicans are far more likely to favor an end to aid to Ukraine than Democrats, writes former GOP US Rep. Adam Kinzinger, pointing to Donald Trump’s influence.
Editor’s note: Adam Kinzinger is a CNN senior political commentator and a former Republican congressman from Illinois. He served 10 years on the House Foreign Affairs Committee. Kinzinger is also a lieutenant colonel and pilot in the Air National Guard. The opinions expressed in this commentary are his own. Read more opinion at CNN. After two months of grueling combat, Ukraine’s counteroffensive in its war against Russia is finally showing some signs of progress.
The US should “refuse to authorize a single additional shipment of our depleted weapons stockpiles,” Trump said last month, until “the FBI, DOJ and IRS hand over” evidence in congressional Republicans’ Biden family investigation. He also has said the US should prioritize school safety over Ukraine aid. The idea that, somehow, school safety and Hunter Biden should have anything to do with helping Ukraine is, on the surface, absurd.
