While former President Donald Trump has praised Vladimir Putin as “savvy” and “genius” for sending troops into Ukraine, Texas Republicans have virtually unanimously condemned Putin as they have called for a strong U.S. response to the invasion.
VILNIUS, LITHUANIA - FEBRUARY 24: Women standing in line at ATM on February 24, 2022 in Vilnius, Lithuania.Lithuania declared that it would impose a state of emergency on its territory after the air and ground attack of the Russian army against Ukraine. WASHINGTON — Texas Republicans are so far not following the lead of former President Donald Trump and right-wing commentators like Fox News host Tucker Carlson when it comes to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
“It may be worth asking yourself, since it is getting pretty serious: ‘What is this really about? Why do I hate Putin so much?’” Carlson “This is about America’s credibility and that of our friends and allies around the world and our willingness to stand up for our values and defend our freedoms,” Cornyn said. “If the U.S. fails to support Ukraine, other authoritarian movements like those in China and Iran will take note.”
