Seth Moulton: Republicans Against Paying Our Troops Is a ‘Bigger Gift to Russia and China’ than They Could Ever Imagine

EXCERPT:

MOULTON: "These are very high stakes, Anderson. We are talking about just paying our troops. This used to be the party of national security. But the party that used to champion national security is now against paying our troops. They won’t stand up to Russia. They refuse to even meet with Zelenskyy, who is fighting for democracy and freedom, principles that used to matter to the Republican Party. And you have one Republican senator from Alabama, who knows a lot about coaching football, nothing about serving in the military, and he is single-handedly decimating the leadership ranks of our military and crushing their families too. So this is really serious. I mean, if you just look at the national security implications, this is a bigger gift to Russia and China than they could ever have imagined. And, Anderson, I’m not a partisan hack. I think some of my greatest accomplishments, like passing the 9-8-8 national mental health hotline, I have done those with Republicans, Republican veterans. But you can’t defend this right now. This is — when I look at the threats to our national security, the Republican Party has become a great threat to America’s national security."
