Biden White House Indicates It Will Hold Disaster Relief Aid for the US States of Florida and Hawaii Hostage Until Congress Authorizes More Billions for the Foreign Country of Ukraine

This absolute traitorous scumbag.

Specifically, Karine Jean-Pierre refused to say that the White House would allow aid to Florida and Hawaii to be "decoupled" from a bill to send more billions to Ukraine. In other words, they have to all pass together, or all fail together.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre refused to say whether the administration will decouple hurricane relief funds to Florida from Ukraine aid during a Wednesday briefing.

"[Republican Florida] Sen. Rubio, whose state is recovering from [Hurricane] Idalia, says the $16 billion in additional disaster relief should be decoupled from the additional funding [sic] for Ukraine. Of course, that's part of their request which seems to be opposed by many Republicans. Is the administration willing to separate these requests and seek the FEMA disaster aid independently to ensure it gets to the hurricane victims [and] Hawaii wildfire victims as quickly as possible or do you see that these things have to be grouped together for the request?" a reporter asked Jean-Pierre.

"We are not going to get into hypotheticals here about decoupling anything at this time," Jean-Pierre said. "What we believe is that these are vital, important government programs that need to be funded, that Congress should act on, that has been done in a bipartisan way, and so that is what we are going to continue to do."

...

"Look, we see them both as incredibly important," Jean-Pierre said. "I just laid out at the top what we saw happen in Ukraine. 16 civilians died."

 

There are still 400 people missing in Hawaii, but yeah, let's focus on the 16 Ukrainians.

...

"It is important," Jean-Pierre continued. "It is important to help a country continue to fight for their democracy. And so we believe as the United States, the president believes as a leader that this is part of our job, part of our duty to make sure that Ukraine continues to fight again for sovereignty, for their democracy."

 

Absolute monsters.

I'll say one thing for Biden and the Democrats: When a foreign country's oligarchs buy them, they get value for money. As Hunter Biden told the Chinese intelligence agent running CEFC, "You know the Bidens are the best at delivering for you."
