McCarthy Says Biden Should've Provided Military Aid to Ukraine Sooner

    The Spin

    Republican narrative

    McCarthy is right to speak out. Biden was too soft on Putin, and help came too little, too late. He should've taken a hawkish stance and sent Ukraine the weapons they needed before Putin invaded. With the right deterrence, this tragedy could've been avoided.

    Democratic narrative

    McCarthy is hypocritical. In 2019 he fought hard to oppose Trump's impeachment for using military aid to blackmail Ukraine; and now he says Biden didn't do enough to arm Ukraine? Biden has committed over $1B in security assistance in the past year alone; more weapons clearly wouldn't have deterred Putin once his mind was set on war.
