Tenney on House Passing Foreign Aid Bill: I Did Not Approve of the Entire Package, I Didn’t Vote for the Ukraine Funding

‘It is good that we are showing that we are getting things done on this side’

RUSH EXCERPT:
TENNEY: "It is a better day for us and it just shows the speaker has the courage he has the integrity and he is not going to be threatened by a very small minority but where we govern with the very, very narrow majority one or two votes. As of today it will be decided by one vote. It’s a good day for the speaker. It’s a good day for America. It is good that we are showing that we are getting things done on this side. I did not approve of the entire package I did not vote for the Ukraine funding for number of reasons. I think we’ve got to look at something. I heard you cite earlier we have the conservatives voting against it. I consider myself a conservative. I also consider myself a constitutional conservative much like the speaker. There is a lot in our party and very vague. We have people who are libertarian, isolationist and that is not necessarily constitutionalists. Our country was founded on certain principles. I come from an original colonies of this means a lot to me as a New Yorker. I think it would be good for the people in our conference to go back and study our founders and the what the true meaning is and what they meant for us to do. I do not think we can continue to say it just because you are libertarian isolationism into her constitutional conservative. That’s going to be an interesting issue going forward but."
