– Biden Takes Swipe At “MAGA Republicans” While Signing ‘Vital’ Ukraine, Israel Aid Bill:
During Wednesday’s signing ceremony authorizing the House and Senate-approved 95$ billion emergency foreign aid package, President Biden in his remarks took a swipe at “MAGA Republicans” for causing the holdup.
“It’s a good day for America, it’s a good day for Europe, and it’s a good day for world peace,” Biden said, confirming he signed the legislation. “It’s going to make America safer, it’s going to make the world safer, and it continues America’s leadership in the world and everyone knows it.”
“To my desk, it was a difficult path. It should have been easier, and it should have gotten there sooner. But in the end, we did what America always does; we rose to the moment, came together and we got it done,” Biden said before going on the offensive with the words: “For months, while MAGA Republicans were blocking aid, Ukraine’s been running out of artillery shells and ammunition. Meanwhile, Putin’s friends are keeping him well supplied.” This latter phrase was an apparent reference Iran, North Korea and China.
Biden in a prior phone call pledged to Zelensky that the aid would be coming “quickly” and in follow-up Wednesday the US president told the press that “vital” aid and military equipment would start being transferred to Ukraine “in the next few hours” from the U.S. stockpile.
