Mollie Hemingway: Biden Knows that Americans View Its Ally, Israel, Very Differently than They Do Ukraine, That’s Why He’s Trying to Muddle It

EXCERPT:

HEMINGWAY: "The speech was disjointed. You can read the transcript and see that it kind of meandered all over the place, but the bigger issue is that President Biden is trying to take a bunch of popular things, like a desire to support having a southern border in the United States or a desire to support Israel as it fights off Hamas, and putting it in with something that’s actually not very popular in America, which is an escalation in the war in Ukraine. Most of the funding that he listed in that speech would have gone to Ukraine. And rather than having a vote on that, which may or may not do particularly well in the Senate or in the House, he wants to lump it together with popular things and have it be spent. There’s also the issue, though, that he’s calling for at least $100 billion in funding, most of it going to Ukraine, at a time when the country is facing some pretty serious problems with its economy and with its rising debt."
