Political Quotes

“Mr. President, 8 months--for 8 months any Senate Democrat could have stepped forward and demanded the President impose Nord Stream 2 sanctions. For 4 years--for 4 years--we stood together and cast votes--with 85 votes, 90 votes, or 95 votes--in defense of Nord Stream 2 sanctions when the Democrats were discovering their inner Jack Ryan when it came to Russia. But now that Donald Trump is gone from office and Joe Biden is in office and he is appeasing Vladimir Putin at every turn by extending the New START Treaty and by not imposing sanctions on Nord Stream 2, suddenly the Democrats have reverted back to their old, conciliatory ways toward Russia. The simplest way to deter invasion of Ukraine, the simplest way to deter Russian aggression is to draw clear red lines of enforcement-- something that Joe Biden will not do; something that, apparently, the Democratic Senators will not force him to do.”
