While many of the warnings issued by Democrats about Republicans winning the midterms could be filed under “Chicken Little says the sky is falling,” Representative Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., confirms at least one will be coming true.
“Fact is if the Republicans take over the House in 2022 US support to Ukraine will come to a halt. They will not be able to stop @RepMTG & @mattgaetz from dictating our Ukraine policy,” tweeted Representative Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz.
It didn’t take long for Gaetz to confirm that this will be the case if he gets his way, in accordance with his America First stance.
America First. We aren’t kidding. https://t.co/9Zo1ed9at5

“America First. We aren’t kidding,” he replied.
Perhaps he was being a little too honest because the reaction was swift and severe. Conservatives and liberals both felt very passionately about the topic:
Stop it. I am too concerned with all these billions the US is sending to Ukraine. Where is all this money going and how long are we going to give them this extravagant amount of aid?

Foreign policy should be similar to the oxygen mask directions on an airplane. Secure your own first before helping anyone else.

No, that would be Russia first.

Whew, we won’t have to worry about that. They won’t get control and Gaetz and MTG will be gone.
