The White House wrongly argued that Senator Tom Cotton supports sending military aid to Ukraine but does not oppose it in practice.

.@TomCottonAR had a chance last week to back his words with actions by voting for the security assistance for Ukraine that the President announced yesterday.

He and 30 of his fellow Senate Republicans voted against that money. https://t.co/yyZ3BQHL0j

— Jen Psaki (@PressSec) March 18, 2022

The Cotton statement made no mention of President Joe Biden or his party.

Cotton pointed out in his reply that the portion of the bill that included aid for Ukraine was less than one percent of the total spending.

The exchange between Psaki and Cotton was similar to the one between Senators Ben Sasse and Chris Murphy on Thursday, in which Murphy launched a similar attack on Psaki. The Connecticut Democrat was accused of tribal hackery and self-pleasuring.

If you allow liars to lie constantly, they will just keep doing it.

Cotton's press secretary told National Review that the Biden administration should spend less time defending itself and more time leading. They want to be praised for doing what should have been done months ago.

The aid package for Ukraine inside of the larger omnibus included close to $7 billion in traditional foreign aid components, $3.5 billion in military supplies, and $3 billion in U.S. military deployment and intelligence. Republicans argue that it should have been passed as a separate bill.
