Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley is slamming his own party's perceived prioritization of foreign aid over domestic interests.
In an op-ed for Compact Magazine, Hawley condemned his fellow Republicans who supported the recently passed $40 billion Ukraine package.
"The cost alone is startling," said Hawley.
"It is three times what all of Europe has contributed to date and roughly the size of Ukraine's entire national budget. Speaking of which, the bill includes funds for Ukraine's treasury to the tune of $8.8 billion. And Biden administration officials suggest they will soon ask for more. This goes far beyond targeted military assistance. This package treats Ukraine as a client state of America, a fraught relationship that will put us on the hook for financing the war and then the reconstruction." Hawley chalked up Republican support of the bill to a neoconservative ideology that holds America has a duty to use its resources to aid struggling foreign countries and intervene in their wars.
Hawley believes the package is an example of Republicans' skewed priorities stemming from the dogma that America should rebuild other nations in our image.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
