Garcia on the Foreign Aid Bill: I Voted Yes on the Package, It’s a Good Day for the U.S., Our Allies, Democracy and Humanitarian Aid
RUSH EXCERPT:
GARCIA: "Yeah, look, this is a good day for the United States and democracy. It is a great day for our allies across the ward and humanitarian aid. I voted yes on the package. I think what is really important is that at this very moment, that Putin is defeated in his March towards trying to dominate eastern Europe and Ukraine. The house did the right thing. It is also really important that we focus on the humanitarian aid package of $9 billion, and that humanitarian aid is not just desperate for places like Gaza, we are talking about money that will also be used in haiti, just going through a massive, as we know, just chaos — crisis right now. It will go to places like the sudan, where millions have died since the civil war. And so the humanitarian aid package, I think that it is one of the key on the stones of this entire deal. $9 billion, one of the largest in recent memory. So I’m really proud of that. If the house did the right thing today, there is a lot of work ahead, but I’m really glad that our allies will receive the support that they need."
