The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

Turner speaking out against the so-called "Putin wing" of his party is doing the US a great service, as there's a bipartisan coalition ready to provide necessary aid to Ukraine. House Speaker Mike Johnson should further marginalize that faction of Republicans by putting aid to a vital ally to a vote and getting it passed without satisfying any demands from pro-Russian voices.

Establishment-critical narrative

Republicans who want to waste US taxpayer money on a war that's none of our business and are speaking out against those who oppose Ukraine aid aren't Republicans at all. If they were, they'd be more concerned about domestic problems — including the invasion at the Southern border — that need funding. This isn't Russian propaganda, it's putting American interests first. Traditional "establishment" voices in the GOP and the Democratic party are both at fault.
