Danger: Carlson Warns Against Biden’s $105 Billion Foreign Aid Request
President Joe Biden’s brazen call for $105 billion in foreign aid drew derision from Tucker Carlson in a Washington, D.C. speech and on social media. The president asked for enormous assistance to Ukraine, Israel — and Gaza.
And, as Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) noted, there’s an appalling $4.7 billion built in for “housing, transportation and services for illegal aliens in the United States.” As opposed to deporting them.
Carlson wrote on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, that anyone can say they care for the U.S. However, “if you’re sending $100 billion to foreign countries right now, you’re lying.”
The former Fox News commentator pointed to glaring domestic problems. He included the obvious issue that young people are no longer able to afford homes and the country is “literally bankrupt.”
Another Biden gift, he observed, is people’s vocal worries over “food inflation.”
But in the face of economic troubles at home, the U.S. president wants to funnel $105 billion to foreign entities. Carlson called this a “huge problem” that someone should be responding to.
Speaking to an enthusiastic gathering in the nation’s capital, Carlson blasted what passes for border security to this Democratic administration. He explained it “is purely designed to make it easier for more people to come here illegitimately.” That, Carlson said, is “freaking scary.”
However, there is opposition mounting to Biden’s massive giveaway.
Senate Republicans held a press conference on Tuesday laying out their intentions to get concessions concerning the $105 billion request. Some are leveraging the crisis at the southern border to get the White House’s attention.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) told journalists that Biden’s supplemental “is just a starting point. We are going to go over it with a fine tooth comb.”
A broad point of contention is the linking of Ukraine aid to assistance for Israel in their war against Hamas terrorists. Democrats packaged the two together along with funding for Taiwan and the scheme to pour billions into assisting illegal migrants.
Some in the GOP insist on being able to weigh the wisdom of the vast outlays separately.
Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) vehemently disagreed with lumping the funding proposals together. “There is overwhelming bipartisan support for Israel and we can get an aid package passed in the Senate quickly.”
The same situation, Scott declared, is not true for the president’s request for yet more taxpayer dollars for Ukraine.
